Is this sentence idiomatic

The data that I get with my mobile plan is just limited (finite) to use.


By limited I mean finite, less


But limited to also means restricted to.


For example in this sentence:

Classes are limited(restricted to) to 25 children..



The second one i am sure is correct



What about the first example?

By limited I mean finite, less No, I don't know what you mean. Do you mean that it is not very useful? If so, you need this structure: The data that I get with my mobile plan is of limited use .

That is not natural English. Write it this way:


On my mobile service contract, the amount of data I can download is limited to 250 MB per day. If I exceed that limit, I have to pay a service fee.
