Why is my data being used so fast? (iphone 5 AT&T)?
Before when i had JUST got my iphone 3gs i was going through data very fast but it was because it was my first smart phone and there WAS so much new stuff for me to play with so my mom upgraded my data allowance and i had never gone over since ( i had the 3gs for a good 2 1/2 years) but i recently got an iphone 5 ( its almost a year old) and at first i wasn't going over but now i go over EVERY freaking month always right at the end of the month but now i just got an text saying i've used 65% of my data and its only the 12th! I swear to god i'm not even on my phone all that much besides briefly checking my email or instagram/tumblr/vine i face time OCCASIONALLY like i seriously can count on one hand how many times i've facetimed could there be something else going on? I'm So annoyed!
Added (1). Also we've had AT&T for YEARS (like 6 plus years) and i remember having unlimited data all my friends were grandfathered in and got to keep there unlimited data plan by my mom and i never were? Can we still get that?
Added (2). I do call long distance a lot from WA to CA but i have long distance calling on my plan? If that helps?
so the fletching thing didn't work it was already on manual.
You're likely fetching mail in the background. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>(account)>and find your "fetch" setting and set it to "Manually." That way, it only fetches when you open the mail app. I did it and it saved me TONS of data. Also consider getting DataMan Next from the app store, which lets you monitor data usage; or, if you're on AT&T, get the myATT app to track usage even better. Also, in iOS 7 you can select which apps are allowed to use data. DEFINITELY enable that feature when iOS 7 GM is rolled to the public sometime later this year!
- Why won't my iPhone 4S load as fast as it used too? B4 I could do things like watch hd videos no problem and now I'm lucky to get 5 seconds of one I have tried restarting my phone and closing my apps and erasing My text but nothing works I'm only using 4.4 GB and its a 16 GB
- Why is my cellular data used so fast? I have an iPhone 5 from Verizon and have a monthly plan of 5GB. I keep using all my data really fast and i don't know why. I do not watch videos too often (1 once a week and they're short aprox 3 mins). I talked to verizon on the phone and in person and they say they can't do anything. I have iOS7 too if that makes a difference. Help me! I turn my data off when I don't need it too.
- Why does my iPhone 6 (16 GB) show that 11 gigabytes are taken up, when only about a gigabyte of my storage is actually being used? Please tell me, I can barely do anything on my phone with this! And please tell me if there's a way to fix it!
- Why does my internet data run out so fast? I have a 1 GB internet plan with fido for iphone and i go on facebook like 4-5 a day for about 10 seconds each just to see if i have a message and i check my data and like 50 MG is alredy wasted, anyone know why?
