About This Conversion
Gigabytes to megabytes multiplies by 1,000 in decimal units. The conversion comes up when an allowance is quoted in gigabytes but the things consuming it are measured in megabytes: a 2 GB monthly data plan is 2,000 MB, enough for about four hundred 5 MB photos.
Upload and attachment limits sit in this range too. A 25 MB email limit is 0.025 GB, so a 1 GB video is forty times too large to attach and has to go through a link instead.
