[About SIMs and Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#about-sims-and-plans) # What do "throttled" or "slower speeds thereafter" mean? Cellular data is used when performing certain actions or activities on your device. This includes browsing the internet, checking email, downloading applications, streaming music, watching movies, and accessing social media apps like Facebook and Instagram. All internet activity on your phone draws from your data plan, unless you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. RedPocket Mobile [plans](http://redpocket.com/plans) include unlimited talk and text, plus a set amount of cellular data. Each plan comes with a specific high-speed data allowance. Once that's used up, speeds will be reduced. The **Premium Plan** offers throttled data of up to 4G speeds on GSMA and up to 1Mbps on CDMA and GSMT. Since most mobile users notice little to no difference between 4G and 5G speeds in everyday use, the GSMA Premium Plan is the perfect choice for heavy data users. For non-Premium plans, throttled speeds are slower.  - [Learn About Mobile](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#main-content) - [About SIMs and Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#about-sims-and-plans) - [About Devices](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#about-devices) - [Products & Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Devices](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#devices) - [Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#plans) - [Programs](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#programs) - [Orders & Shipping](https://help.redpocket.com/orders-shipping?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Ordering Online](https://help.redpocket.com/orders-shipping?hsLang=en#ordering-online) - [Shipping](https://help.redpocket.com/orders-shipping?hsLang=en#shipping) - [Activating & Setting Up](https://help.redpocket.com/activating-setting-up?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Activating your line](https://help.redpocket.com/activating-setting-up?hsLang=en#activating-your-line) - [Activated?
