Uploading one wMbus telegram consumes approximately 400 bytes data including all metadata.

Telegram upload interval	Monthly NB-IoT data usage
1 each Day	~12 kB
8 each Day (every 3h)	~100 kB
400 each Week	~700 kB
250 each Day	~3 MB

All calculations are estimations and might varry depending on the configuration
