How Much Data Do Zynga Mobile Games Use?

AT&T Data Plan Usage Text, Email, Web Browsing, Photos & Video

Can someone tell us on average how much mobile data Zynga games consume on 3G and 4G networks?   AT&T (NYSE: T) announced a strategic agreement with Zynga today.  Zynga games will be featured for download on for AT&T customers.  Games such as Words With Friends and Poker will be featured for download on iPhone and Android devices.  This is not surprising to see, since AT&T starting capping data plans.

The million dollar question in the $2 billion dollar Zynga IPO (Nasdaq: ZYNGA) is will the game data usage count against your AT&T data plans?  If AT&T does the right thing they will encourage you to use the games over WiFi and warn you about the amount of data you are using.  Verizon and AT&T will be monitoring how much data that you use and will charge you according to their tiered data plans.  However, consumers still don't have any credible 3rd party tools to monitor mobile data usage.  This is just another reason why we recommend that you keep your T-Mobile unlimited data plan.  You should also beware of the AT&T 200 mb data plan if you plan to play a lot of mobile games on your iPhone or Android device as well.
