About This Conversion
Megabytes to gigabytes divides by 1,000 in the decimal units that storage and mobile data are sold in. A 500 MB app is 0.5 GB of a data plan, and a 25,000 MB download is 25 GB.
The 1,000 versus 1,024 question decides the answer. Storage capacities, file sizes reported by most tools and mobile data allowances are decimal, so 1,000 MB is 1 GB. Some operating systems still label binary units with decimal names, in which case they mean 1,024. When the two disagree by 2.4 percent, that is which convention is in play.
