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

status updates.
Here are some other examples:
● Streaming Web videos and music
● Tuning in to Internet radio
● Playing online games
● Downloading apps, maps, and files
● Refreshing apps to update info and feeds
● Uploading and backing up your files to your online storage account
● Using your phone as a Mobile Hotspot
● Sharing your mobile data connection by USB tethering
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.
