Data usage monthly comparison

This past month I got a warning that I have used 95% of my data.  I didn’t think I was using my phone any differently than in past months.  I’m looking to try and review my data usage month by month, not day by day.  Any ideas?

Are you receiving this message from a Public Mobile Text you are receiving, and if so does it match what the usage says on your OVERVIEW area on your Self Serve account...this is the most accurate usage to go by.

There is no easy way to see your usage per 30 day cycle unfortunately.

 

You can go the painstakingly method and go page by page under your "View My Usage" in your Self Serve account. You can copy and paste into a spreadsheet and filter out the data types you need...but this is very annoying, I TRIED IT for a while, than it became too time consuming.

 

 

Install an app to track your ‘live’ usage so you can keep track. Public Mobile are 30 day plans (not monthly).

 

If you are android, try this one:

Data Witness app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.iwik.datawitnesspm&hl=en_CA&gl=US

I use this one myself and it gives me what I need from it.

 

You could also check out Data counter widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roysolberg.android.datacounter&hl=en_CA&gl=US

 

If you are an Apple user, I am sure there is a 30-day app that is available as well.

Public mobile does not keep track of monthly usage patterns, but maybe your phone.

 

You can check your daily usage for the last 90 days though in your self service account.  

 

If you really need data, you could purchase 1 GB data add on for $15.  Unused data will roll over to next payment cycle.
