First month of mobile bills: very little data usage
The first month of billing has come in the project participants phone and it shows that even when it is free for them, students don’t seem to use their phone for data:
Data (MB)
- avg = 8.1
- median = 5.2
- max = 37.35
SMS – sent/received
- avg = 66.4/56.52
- median = 37/34
- max = 399/261
In the next couple weeks there will be a few chats with project participants, I am very interested to hear from them why they don’t appear to be taking advantage of the project. They only average two SMS a day? I beat that on my own phone. It could be that they use their current phone and aren’t too keen about moving their life to a device owned by UW. Not moving beyond the phone/SMS is not just observed here but I was expecting higher data and SMS usage.
