If Iphone 3GS cellular Data is turned on all the time, does it consume mb?
I have a package of 120mb free to roam internet. If i just have it ON all the time, does it consume my MB all this time, or when i receive a Skype or Whatsapp message only it consumes the transferring KB and then stop consuming again?
There are other things, such as AppStore, imessage, (and social updates like Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and plenty of OTHER apps that can consume some data in the background. Unfortunately, you'll just have to try it for a day or two and check your data usage per day and see how you stack up.
Yes, the phone will consume data even when you're not using it. Lots of apps are constantly updating and that uses data.
Plus you consume more battery power by leaving 'data' switched on, id turn data off when not in use, Wi-Fi uses less power than 3g/4g data ;-)
- 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?
- 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?
