Data usage

castle96

Seems sorted then. Many thanks. I must therefore turn mobile data ON when outside a wifi area (if I 'need' to). My 2GB should therefore last a month, though it doesnt seem a lot even for a light user like me.
I couldnt get the 10GB of data from EE (If I swopped my BB to them), because my sim plan was £17.99 pm and the offer stated £19.99 pm min. 10GB would have allowed decent use of data/left on, without worrying
U live - u learn !

But hang on.

You hve a 2gig limit and have used 15% of it in 9 days? Well there's 30 days in a month (Average), so what's the problem? You'll have used less than half of your data!

but the point is I haven't done anything (intentionally) with it. It has just 'disappeared' on 'something'. It's not as though I have intentionally used it, sitting in the park watching a film or something

2GB is a reasonable plan for someone who wants mobile data but isn't going to use it for video, streaming TV etc. You know that some people get by on 500MB allowances?

Just got a new phone and never had one before, well nearly 30 years ago was last time.

If I've got mobile data turned off when I turn it on again does it update everything that's gone on when the mobile data was turned off???

Yes, if you have set updates to not be on wi-fi only and the sync settings turned on. No, if you have set updates to be on on wi-fi only and the sync settings turned off.

samsung J5
can bring up 'settings' but no mention of sync anywhere.
IS now set to 'mobile data off', but previous poster says MUST also set to sync off.
Any help please
