My data on my verizon iPhone 4S?

Okay so i just got my iPhone 4S 2 months ago and i'm apparently using a lot of data. Does uploading pictures to instagram, or using twitter use a lot of data? I'm going to be a senior and i'm always on these websites and i don't want my parents to pay a lot of money when i know how to control it. Can you help me out?

Uploading (or downloading or streaming) pictures, videos, and music uses a lot of data - especially videos. Twitter does not use a lot of data unless you add or view pictures.

But when your iPhone is on Wi-Fi it will do all that stuff without using any data all.

Get the "My Verizon" app for your iPhone and watch it closely to get an idea of your daily data usage.

I have an iPhone 4S also, iPhones generally cause you to have a higher phone bill to pay anyway, there isn't really a good way to control it, there are only a few ways to try and lessen the bill. Get a contract with a higher data allowance (those apps will use up a lot of data) or to not use the apps at all, try switching your 3G off when you're not using the internet (sometimes iPhones can still charge, even if you're not using the internet at the current time), also try not to keep any pages open in Safari, close them as soon as you're done using them.

  • Will any Verizon SIM card work in an Verizon iPhone 4S? I had recently acquired an iPhone 4S from an old friend. I was wondering if I could buy a cheap Verizon phone with a pay as you go plan, and remove the SIM from the cheap phone, cut it down to a Micro-SIM, and place it in my new iPhone.
  • When does data for a iphone from Verizon reset? And what uses up data? I just got an iPhone and I'm getting messages that say that the "usage reset date" is 10/10. Does that mean that is the day my data will be reset? Also, what uses up data? All I've been doing since I got my iPhone is texting and looking at a few things on the internet but I'm always connected to my Wi-Fi.
  • What is data in a Verizon data plan? I just got an iphone 5 and am having some trouble. I know that data includes email, accounts and any internet websites (facebook, youtube, netflix). Does it use up data to have multiple internet browsers open even though I only look at one at a time? Is it possible to use up data when the phone is off? Also, is taking a picture, playing app games, listening to music, and siri considered to be "data" on the data plan? Is there an overall explanation for what a data plan is?
  • What counts as data on Verizon's data plans with the iphone? Read more please? So i got an iphone for xmas and i have a 2gig plan, so what counts as data on the phone? Like playing games, emails, tweets, ect? Also when the bill comes in will it show, say i downloaded the twitter app, will it show that i spend time on it? (my dad doesn't know i have one so trying to make sure he doesn't find out.) Any help would be very helpful! Please and thank you!
