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:
n Streaming Web videos and music
n Tuning in to Internet radio
n Playing online games
n Downloading apps, maps, and files
n Refreshing apps to update info and feeds
n Uploading 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.
