data plan

Mobile internet package

A data plan is a mobile phone subscription that includes a specified amount of internet access, typically measured in gigabytes per month: I need to upgrade my data plan—I keep running out before the end of the month.

Going over the limit may incur extra charges or slow speeds.

Unlimited data plans remove the cap, though carriers may throttle heavy users.
