Manage Wireless Synchronization Costs

To manage the cost of synchronizing wirelessly from your device, you must balance the following considerations:

Battery life

Network connection or data transfer costs

How up-to-date you want your information to be

Maximize battery life

Each time your device synchronizes, some of the stored battery power is used. Setting up ActiveSync to synchronize frequently on a schedule or automatically when items arrive uses more battery power than synchronizing manually. To maximize battery life, schedule synchronization infrequently or synchronize manually.

Minimize connection and data costs

Each time your device synchronizes wirelessly, ActiveSync connects to your service provider network. Depending on your rate plan, each connection may have costs associated with it. Some service providers also charge by the amount of data that you transfer across their network. To minimize the number of times you connect to synchronize, increase the time between scheduled synchronizations, or set the device to synchronize manually. To get the most data each time you synchronize, schedule synchronization more frequently for times when, for example, you receive more mail.
