Does sending and recording pictures use up your data?
I have 4g of data a month. Someone told me that when you send pictures through text. It uses up data. Is there any way to check? Does it really? I have Verizon. Unlimited text and talk. And an iPhone 4S.
MMS messaging, also referred to as "picture texts" most certainly do use data. You can check your usage via My Verizon Mobile (a free app available for the iPhone from Verizon).
When sending pictures, MMS texting, it does use up data! While it doesn't affect your texting (because you have unlimited) it does affect your data. Depending on your plan, there's a special app that's free under My Verizon. The one I use shows my data usage starting from each new billing period. It's got a "fillup" line that tells me how much data I've used so far. I highly recommend using this because it keeps you from going over. If you need help with the app, go to your nearest Verizon store. The people are really nice at mine and help with anything!
- 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?
- My photos are not sending in group messages, but are sending in individual messages? I'm with Straight Talk Wireless. At first my pictures were sending in the group message but now they are not. I don't know what's wrong, all my settings are what they are suppose to be, and I'm currently on an iPhone 5s IOS 8.4.
- Leaving your 4G on your iPhone 4s at all times won't waste your data right? I leave it on all the time and my plan is 300 MB and I was wondering if I had this on at all times and I don't use the web or anything I just leave my phone alone, it doesn't waste my data right? Very much appreciated!
- IPhone 5 having trouble sending group messages and pictures? I just got a brand new iPhone 5 from AT&T. Whenever I try to send a group message, the sending bar gets almost to the very end, and then stops and says "Message Send Failure". I try to resend it multiple times, but it still doesn't work. Also, it won't send pictures at all. The same thing happens. Is there any way I can fix this, or do I need to take it back to the store?
