Data Running out

murphdave — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 19:15:00 GMT

I have had the same plan for quite a few years and have been camping and out of wifi for a week and didnt run out of data however in the last two months I have barely been out of wifi service and my data always seems to be running out. The same is true with my wife. I have looked at all the individual app settings and nothing seems to have changed. It almost seems like the data is intentionally being run down.

I turn data daily for short period of time but my data count matches to what PM has on my account.

Do not forget that some apps even if background usage is off DO use data and access Internet. Particularly default apps coming with phone's OS.

Check your data usage on your account, see if there are some 'funny' or unrecognizable usage.

@murphdave these days, many app will be using data on the background to sync and get the updates. You have to chexk the app and try to lock down the data usage on those app

And best way to avoid data leak, turn off Mobile Data on your device and only enable it when needed
