If you use Internet on an iPhone app will AT&T charge you and data usage decrease?
Like if I use Facebook or something like that, will my data usage decrease an eventually get charged for it if I don't use wireless Internet? Just wanting to know.
Of course.
most apps use data, and you will be charged.
Yeah, any app that requires internet will use your data from your data plan until you use up everything you paid for. On Wi-Fi it doesn't count though, Wi-Fi doesn't affect your cellphone data. But whenever you have the "3G" at the top of the screen and you use internet whether it be in an app, browser, or anything like that, it WILL use up your data plan internet.
Using an app that uses the Internet, like Facebook, will use up your data unless you are on Wi-Fi at the time. Unless you are on an unlimited data plan, once you use up all your data for the month, you will be charged extra for additional data; the more extra data you use the more you will pay.
So to avoid problems, try not to use apps that use the Internet unless you're on Wi-Fi, especially apps that use a lot of data (anything that shows or plays videos or pictures or plays or downloads songs), also don't install/update apps unless you're on Wi-Fi.
You can tell if you're on Wi-Fi by looking at the top of the screen for the Wi-Fi symbol, it looks like this:
P.S. It's a little confusing when you say "will my data usage decrease". I know what you really meant, but when you say it that way, it literally means "will I use less data", which is the opposite.
- Would the price of the iPhone 5s decrease significantly after the release of the iPhone 6? I've liked the look of the iPhone 5s since if what first released. It looks great and it's the perfect size for me. But it's just so expensive! How much would it be when the iPhone 6 comes out?
- What is (does) and unlocked iphone (do)? Phones internet usage? I currently own a mytouch 3g phone. I want to upgrade to a better smartphone without having to pay out the A$$. My friend told me to go on ebay and get an "unlocked" iphone. What does "unlocked" mean cell phone wise? I use T-Mobile currently, could an unlocked iphone be used with T-Mobile? How i get internet currently on my mytouch is that i connect to my home Wi-Fi router. Can the iphone do this as well? Or will i have to pay extra for internet use?
- 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
- Is 500mb of internet enough for the iPhone 4S and my level of usage? Am thinking of applying for a contract iPhone 4S, and my monthly allowance of mobile data will be 500mb, and I was wondering if the way I use data on my phone would be enough. I will mainly use it for: - iMessage - Snapchat/WhatsApp - Web-page browsing - Twitter - Facebook (occasionally)
