Will i get charged using cellular data/3G?
I was on my iphone and i didn't realize the cellular data and 3G tab was on since i had Wi-Fi on so i didn't see the 3G sign on the upper left side of the screen but rather i just saw the Wi-Fi logo as usual
also just an additional question, only if you want to answer, what is cellular data anyways? As well as 3G, 4G, and LTE? I don't seem to know how it differs from one another
thank you.
Added (1). i only realized this when i turned off the Wi-Fi, but then i just saw the E sign on the upper left instead of 3G
If you're connected to a Wi-Fi connection then it will use your Wi-Fi and not cellular data.
The only difference you need to know about cellular data is speed, from slowest to fastest it goes LTE, 3G and then 4G. Cellular data allows you to have an Internet connection without being connected to Wi-Fi, this is so you can have Internet where a Wi-Fi connection isn't available such as on the road.
Yes, carriers charge for use of data connections (1G-4G)
Cellular data is basically internet access through your carrier. The difference between 3G & 4G is speed. LTE is 4G (though some carriers in the past (& maybe still now) marketed having 4G but that was actually HSPA basically 3.5G.
- Will updating ios 7 on my iphone costs charges on my bill using cellular data? I wanted to update ios 7 on my iphone 4s using the cellular data, will it costs some extra charges on my bill afterwards? But i do have hotspotshield VPN elite, does it helpful?
- Will I get charged for using Wi-Fi when my Sprint data plan is shut off? If I turn off the data plan for my iPhone 5 (with the intention if turning it back on), will I get charged for using the Internet using Wi-Fi?
- Will I get charged for using 3G Internet if I have the unlimited data plan? My carrier is Sprint. I have an iPhone 4. I'm asking if I'll be charged if I don't use Wi-Fi.
- Will i be charged for texts on iPhone even though i turned off cellular data and enable 3G? I have turned off my cellular data and 3G believing that everything of texts web browsing etc. Is all based on Wi-Fi. I know imessage won't charge me even though i'm on Wi-Fi. However if i were to text someone who does not have an iphone and it isn't imessage will i still be charged? Because sending messages to them works with my cellular data and 3g off but will i be charged or even charged more since it is off?
