Downloading songs from Amazon uses a LOT of data! Eh?

Topic.

Yesterday I downloaded a few songs from Amazon MP3 on my Galaxy S3 which I got back from repair (again) last week, then half an hour later I get a text from O2 telling me I've used up most of my 750 Mb data allowance for this month!

So I downloaded the My O2 app (more data) to check how much I've got left, and it seems there's about 165 Mb left, all I downloaded was about 3 albums worth of songs which were stored on my Amazon Cloud server.

250mb per album is quite normal and is not excessive. You've been advised many times to use wifi - I give up !!!!

Thing is though, I tried to get on the Wi Fi at Sheffield Railway Station, but Amazon MP3 wouldn't download using Wi-Fi.

Also, I managed to get on the free Wi-Fi in Burger King in Lincoln, thanks to the password being on the reciept for my lunch, and I still couldn't download.

The best route is to get your home wifi sorted via your support group around you or your brother or increase your data allowance Richard.

So just because you TRIED to download through wifi, you think your O2 data should remain untouched?
