Depends what sites you visit really. Erm.. yeah.
For example the sites i visit are text based (hardly any images) and i hardly use up my mobile broadband allowance. If you were on the internet all day from morning to evening then you could use it all up in under a week. Facebook for example would use a lot of the data up as your mobile has to download all the pictures.
What phone do you have? You can download an app that will show you how much you have used already and it will stop you going over the 1GB. The app is called 3G watchdog. That way you dont have to calculate all of this and you can let the app handle it all for you.

1GB via mobile browsing should last the entire month. Providing all you are doing is just browsing mobile sites and not full web sites. It all boils down to the content to which you are viewing.
Viewing the mobile Facebook will use about 150k per time, there is 1,000k to a MB and 1,000 MB to a GB.
No one can tell you if you will use that at all, but if you are intending to use a smart phone like an iPhone then you could quite easily pass that as it realises on a data network to get apps, emails, etc.
not many. if you are just pulling up a web page and reading the page that usually consumes anywhere from 100 to 350 kb depending on the content/ whether or not your phone loads the pictures too. but then again i have seen my husband download pictures from a web page and it take 7800 easy in less than 5 minutes time from the same web page. basically once you are on the page you can scroll around it as long as you want for however many kb it took to get there but once you go back or forward to another page then more are added on. depending on your carrier you should be able to download a mobile app for them that will let you monitor your usage daily (for free threw the app once it is added to your phone) or from your computer. i’m not sure how all companies do but i know at&t allows you to see an overview with usage estimates that are a day behind…but it lets you know when you are close to your limit. verizon, which is who i use, has a summary on the home page with usage detail link under it to give summary a few hours behind EXCEPT for any usage made outside your usual calling area and that is posted a day behind. but the mobile app tells me usage on my phone about my phone just 30 minutes behind regardless of whether i am in my calling area or roaming out of town. i know that doesn’t make it any simpler but in all honesty each page will suck up different amounts of data, same with downloads. monitoring it until you get use to how your carrier bills for it would be the easiest way to go.
it depends on u that how much u use it only browsing u can use it till 20 to 25 days
