What is counted as data usage on the iPhone?
I just got my iPhone 4 unlocked from O2 YAY!
Now i'm on Vodafone. I can't get throgh to the chat thing that comes up so i have some Q's.
1. Do i pay for apps like Temple Run, Fruit Ninja, Skype, Youtbe, Doodle Jump?
2. I've put a restriction against the safari so i can't go on it, do i still pay for it?
3. I noticed it says 3g what does that mean? Am i paying?
4.In general:
WHAT DATA DO YOU PAY FOR/WHAT IS COUNTED AS DATA USAGE ON THE IPHONE 4?
thankies c:
Also, you have 2 download temple run from apple store on the iphone so is that gonna pay? Teh app is free
The actual data you download using your cellular network is data usage… When you pay for an app you're paying for the right to download an app but the data you download in order to get the app on your phone is data usage. It's the same with free apps, the right to download is free but you still pay for the data that is transferred over the cellular network. Some apps also need to download more data as the run.
Alternatively, if you have a computer with internet access, you can download the apps using that and then transfer to your phone via wi-fi or cable so you don't incur data usage.
The Iphone like most phones have the ability to connect to Wi-Fi connections as well as use the data from your package.
When your not connected to a Wi-Fi connection like from a wireless router your using your phone data every time you download anything no matter where you download it from you use data. All emails use your data to pull from the internet, all internet sites you visit use data, anything you download from the app store uses data and any online games you play uses data.
The 3G is the speed your phone is capable of using. The Iphone 5 is 4G all of it's predecessors are 3G.
However if your carrier does not have the capability of giving you 4G your phone can't use anything more then they give you.
As Skype and Youtube is done online it uses data, I don't know about the other games you list as I don't use them.
- Unknown data usage on iPhone 4S? My family and I all have smartphones (all iPhones except one) and on our phone bill, it says that we're already at 6.7 GB, in 15 days… Looking further into it, I noticed that on each phone, data was being used every hour. Like anywhere between 1 and 19, 000 KB being used exactly every hour. Like 3 KB at 1:49, 15 KB at 2:49, 7 KB at 3:49 in the morning. KB's aren't a lot, but when you have 6 devices using KB's every hour, it really adds up.
- 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 tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- IPhone: settings cell usage vs AT&T's data usage number? AT&T has a number, by calling it will send you a text message telling you how much usage you have used on your data. But also in the iPhone there's a cellular usage count in the settings app which also tells how much data you have used. Both of my cellular usage counts are different. Which is right?
