Why is our data usage plan be using up?
I'm receiving texts that says my data usage plan is 75% used up yesterday and then 90% used up today. I'm confused because I'm the only one listed on the plan and I'm not using Safari on my iPhone?
What else could consume my data plan? (Yes, I called my provider, Verizon, and they didn't know either.)
Do you have social media apps running which are checking for updates constantly.
Check the Settings under Cellular & you could see which apps have been using data & how much. Keep in mind that anything requiring internet access done while on a 3G/4G connection counts as data use, not just browsing the internet on Safari.
- Why is the data usage on my iPhone so high? I can't figure out what I'm doing that is causing it to be so high. I've compared to family members who seem to use the same if not more than I do. I frequently make sure I have Wi-Fi on hoping this'll reduce it?
- Why is my data usage so high after switching to At&T? When I had my iPhone 4 with Verizon, I used roughly 300MB of data per month. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 and switched to AT&T. Yesterday, at the end of the FIRST DAY of the billing cycle, I checked my data usage --- 500MB! I was barely on the phone at all yesterday. I probably checked Facebook 3-4 times and refreshed my twitter feed a couple times as well. I get about 50 e-mails per day. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
- 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
- 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?
