Solomon Islands set to ban Facebook in the name of 'national unity'

What is the cost of email in data useage?

My concern is cost, what is the cheapest. Therin is the answer.

Is FB the cheapest, I honestly do not know, but either it is, or it has the market share needed to speak to friends around the world.

The issue is the way we choose to use it.

Personally I have deleted FB 3 times, I dislike the money grabbing purpose. The I come back as I miss my SI friends.

Most email is free. Data usage is between you and your ISP or phone service.

Minimal. E-mail is one of the oldest services, it went well on a dial-up modem. (About 4k for a DIN A4 page, on FB or RF, transmitting your avatar is usually more data than your text.) The same goes for old text-only messaging systems like ICQ.

Data is very expensive in SI for the local population.

I wonder how much data is used by the receiver of a FB messenger video call?

I always try to call friends when they are on WiFi at Baha'i Centre that has a plan that covers some usage.

Video is probably the most data extensive method of communication. You could send a books worth of text only for one minute of video.
