LG Wireless Phone

How can I minimize megabyte usage on a cell phone data plan?

I have recently bought a new phone from Verizon Wireless, the LG enV touch. Verizon now requires data plans on all of their smart phones and multimedia phones. Therefore, I have had to purchase a $9.99 data pack with my phone plan. The $9.99 only goes up to 25 MB of mobile web browsing and all that other stuff included with the $9.99 data plan (which I'm still not totally sure of). I got my phone less than a week ago, and I have already racked up about 16 MB used. I use mobile email a lot, because I don't have texting, so I can use email to send her texts from anywhere in the world, so I am repeatedly signing in and out in random spurts. After I go past 25 MB, I can't use the phone anymore for its multimedia features, so I was wondering, is there any way I can minimize the usage on my phone so after a week, it's more like I'm around 5 MB used as opposed to 15 MB used?

2. come on man, think logically. theres no magical way to do this. Just call ur girl or don't use the internet as much
3. 1) You can go over the 25MB- you'll just be charged 20 cents for each MB. 2) I would recommend using the IM app to text her- this will use less MB than email (just make sure you have unlimited texting or lots of it, since every IM counts as a text).
