Hey guys, so I know there is a thread similar to this somewhere out there in this section, but I'd like
to provide my own. I was looking at the OSRS mobile information on the website, and I found this
quote from Jagex themselves.

Our most recent tests have found that Old School Mobile currently uses, on average, 500kb to 2MB of data per hour of full gameplay


As you guys are playing RuneScape Mobile, can you tell me your exact data use? I am getting a phone
plan tomorrow. I will be running OSRS on an iPhone 5s with 8GB of data on a 3G connection. If I can
get away with 25 or less MB / HR (250MB/10hr) I would be extremely happy.

I'll let you know what mine is tomorrow.

Data Use Per Hour:
Phone Connection Speed:
Device you're using:
 
It's fairly low compared to YouTube, Instagram, and everything else on my phone. It's surprisingly very good at keeping the data-use down
 
I'm on cricket unlimited and i get 20mb an hour and other people i've talked to get around the same. Runescape is a game that was made back when people used dial-up so data usage has always been pretty low.

Yeah that does make sense, and they said they pre-cache stuff to keep it down as well.
Interesting, getting my data plan later can't wait to see.

where do you live if you don't mind me asking and does the connection drop often?

I haven't noticed an increase in my monthly plan at all since playing OSRS Mobile, it literally uses the same as the apps I run in the background, you should be fine with that plan buddy! :D

Just checked my phone and apparently between the 1st of Jan and now OSRS has used 45MB.

This is pretty good as even though a bulk of my play is on WiFi, there's a good deal that isn't.

I can't believe it's so low! I thought it would KILL my data. Wow this opens up whole new levels up scaping!
