Manage Your Data Usage

If you’re on a limited data allowance, it’s important to keep track of the activities and apps that usually send and receive data, such as browsing the Web, syncing online accounts, and sending email or sharing status updates.

Here are some other examples:

nStreaming Web videos and music

nTuning in to Internet radio

nPlaying online games

nDownloading apps, maps, and files

nRefreshing apps to update info and feeds

nUploading and backing up your files to your online storage account

To help you save on data usage, connect to a Wi-Fi network whenever possible and set your online accounts and emails to sync less frequently.

Keep Track of Your Data Usage

Monitor your data usage to help prevent going over your monthly data allowance.

Note: Data usage measured by your phone may differ from, and be less than, your actual data usage.
