Data usage notifications

Louvry — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 23:05:04 GMT

Hi new to Public mobile. Is there a way to set up notifications on data usage ie. PM sends notifications you used 6 gb of data so far etc. This may help myself not use to much data early on in the 90 days.

Thanks

I have read that a notification is sent at 75% and 95% will try and find it again for you

One of the members here created an app that is available in the Google Store -- Data Witness.

For me, I just set my phone to warn me each month when I get to 3.5GB and cut me off altogether at 4GB.

edit -- here is the link to Data Witness, created by IWIK. You can set it for your 90-day plan length

Hello,

At 75% and 95%, you will receive text messages that you are nearing the end of your data allotment, even if you do not subscribe to Text.

When you have used 100% of your data, data availability will stop, at which point you can purchase a data add-on which is not time-limited, and will expire only when it has been fully used.

If you wish to view data usage in real time, click Plans and Add-ons in your self-serve account, and then click Add-on Usage, as mentioned by Luddite using hyperlinks.

I hope that this has answered your questions.
