I had heard most everyone could get by with 2 gb/month for SIM data usage... lol... First month I was about 3.5 with a couple days to go. So, I increased my 2gb SIM card to a 5 gb plan. And now, just about 2 weeks into my new month and I'm at about 5.06 gb, with 2 weeks to go!...lol And here I thought, with the exception of some occasional "live views", that I was being frugal with my data! - Wrong!
I normally only review dashcam files on a laptop w/ SD card. Obviously I'm doing something that's eating up lots of data. - - I plan on touching base with Pittasoft/Blackvue to determine exactly what is eating my data. I'm curious which views/activities are data hogs.
Have others had similar problems with SIM card data usage? What are some best practices?
Btw I have a paid Blackvue Cloud account as I didn't want to count downloads/or video plays or worry about 10 mins/day for Live View. Maybe this is what's causing my huge data usage... maybe I should go back to the free plan!
