Disabling data usage on iPhone?
I'm upgrading from my old iPhone and I'm giving it to my kid sister as her first cellphone. She only needs talk and text functions, and won't be getting a data plan.
So, is there some way to disable data usage? Airplane mode isn't practical because that switches off talking and texting too. I also want the phone to be able to connect to our home wireless Internet - just no data transmission through the cellphone provider's wireless network. Possible, or does my sister just need to be really careful not to press the wrong buttons?
Not easy. You could start by going to Settings, selecting General and then going to Restrictions. After that you can consider getting rid of unwanted apps, which often indulge in silent data transfers.
- Why Can't I Turn Off iPhone Without it Disabling? Every time I turn off my iPhone, when I turn it back on it says something like "iPhone disabled, connect to iTunes" or "iPhone disables, try again in 5 minutes". Is there a way to fix this? I know how to un-disable my phone, but I don't know how to turn it off and on again without it doing this.
- What's the longest amount of time you have seen or heard of an iphone 6 plus disabling? Like you know when you put the wrong password on the lock screen and it says disabled, how long have you seen i guess any apple product disable?
- Under settings on my iPhone, does the data usage include Wi-Fi usage? Because its stating a ridiculous amount and I've had my data off… And my Wi-Fi on. Does the total of data include the amount of Internet I'm using when on Wi-Fi? I'm so confused
- IPhones: how to turn off disabling? Is there a way to turn off disabling (like when someone can't guess your password the phone doesn't allow it to be guess for x amount of time)? My sister likes to take my phone and guess passwords so i can't use it.
