Too many unknowns to give an answer. Will you view main stream or sub-stream? What bps is the stream? What resolution is the image? And also, what is the connection to the internet (through the cell provider?).
- if P2P, that consumes data simply to maintain the connection (if you don't have a static ip). P2P has issues, most say a VPN is superior.
- The vpn provider can vary by what vpn solution you're using.
- I assume from your post that it's a single cam, not multiple cams, and not an NVR. That specificity helps.
I dabbled with a cellular connected multi-camera system. I pretended to have a static ip. Comcast doesn't change my dynamic public ip very often. I also wanted "events" to push pics and video clips, which increased MB consumption. So I don't have an identical situation to compare to. I was consuming ~2GB/mo for a 4 cam system, occasional remote viewing, and emailed pics and after a "push notification", I chose to view the video. YMMV.
Check here for more details:
4G LTE setup
Check gmaster's reply to me which is embedded in the quoted text. He said "2GB/mo for everything. Tuning this setup properly is the difference between spending an arm and a leg and knowing and accounting for every byte (not kilobyte) so that you can scale accordingly."
Also Alternative internet connection over mobile network?
This differs from my setup, so take my experiences with a grain of salt....

Are you kidding? The answer was right at your fingertips?
I wish I could have the 10 minutes back that I spent making an informative answer, and looking for semi-related threads.
And I didn't even get a "like" from my answer?
Hmmm
So many newbies, so little time. Maybe I have to dial down my helpfullness.... And focus on people who first try to find an answer, using their own time, and only THEN do they ask others for help to solve their problem.
Sorry if I sound frosted....
Happy trails....
