Data Usage
Data usage refers to the amount of data uploaded or downloaded by the device during a given period.
Depending on the wireless plan, you may be charged additional fees when your data usage exceeds your
plan's limit.
To monitor your data usage:

2. Touch Network & internet > Mobile network > Data usage.
CAUTION: The usage displayed on the data usage settings screen is measured by your device. Your
carrier's data usage accounting may differ. Usage in excess of your carrier plan's data limits can result in
steep overage charges. The feature described here can help you track your usage, but is not guaranteed
to prevent additional charges.
