Does downloading apps on Wi-Fi use data?
Iphone 5 AT&T
Any time you are downloading or uploading, your are using bandwidth/data.
Yes of course you're using data, but whose data are you using? You're own internet connection? Or the Wi-Fi from a free public source that is the question? If you want to save money on data usage go to a free Wi-Fi source and download your apps from there.
I don't have data service.
on my blackberry I had to set phone all up for data service, and set up my Wi-Fi for my home router. But using browser doesn't use the data service, it uses my Wi-Fi.
try using the browser a little some on your home router, then check your bill at end of month, to see how much of the data plan was used. If you don't have a data plan, ask AT&T how much it costs to use data if you don't have a data plan.
avoid videos and sites with large amounts of images "pretty graphics". Those are high-bandwidth.
a page designed with photoshop may look great, but it's awful for mobile.
- Why does my iphone use data over night when cellular data is turned off? Every night I turn off cellular data and leave the iPhone on and one day I wake up and check my data manager and see i have already used 25 MB please help!
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- IPhone Music downloading apps I can use offline? I'm going on a long road trip and need a music app that plays my music offline for those places with no service.
