You wish to know this because of the data limits on the mmode plans yes?

Really it would depend on the type of website your visiting, and considering that mpx models support full web browsing that would be a difficult question to answer a text only page is about 5000 kbs give or take alot

Just visit the website on your home computer using Internet Explorer. Then go to File>Save As... From here select COMPLETE Website. Hit save. Right click the folder and files it created and go to properties. The size is how much download you used plus a tiny bit for communication between the server (request) and etc.

The thing thats going to make the sites vary greatly is the number of images you download. If you are downloading text only, it isn't 500 KB nor 5000 as a prior poster stated. It is more around 5-50 Kb on AVERAGE.

It's a little different on phones the site has to be remapped even if you have full html but that method is also ood for an estimate 😁

no, the only acception is if a site has the server process smartphones and direct them to an alternate version of the site. The biggest reason the site looks a lot different in an application like IE compared to your smartphone is that a lot of web programmers use CSS to have attributes like color, size, etc. and when you view pages on your smartphone they don't look at the CSS files (or JS files to that point). Hence, everything merely LOOKS remapped.

The exceptions are sites that run a seperate portal for smartphones, which aren't many if they aren't big like yahoo or google or whatnot.
