Tag Archives: data usage

So, you have a handy-dandy-amazing-spectacular-super-duper-iPhone!  Yippie!  You’ve  probably been using it for a while taking video, snapping pictures, downloading music and various fun apps… but, do you know how much data you’re actually using on that rad little device?  Here are a few simple ways for you to check:

-        If you’re an AT&T subscriber, log into your account via their homepage at (www.att.com) and create a billing report:

• “Bills and Payments”
  • “Create Billing Report”
    • “Data Usage Trend”
      • Vuala!  You’ll get a detailed graph showing you just how much data you are using.

-        If you’re a Sprint subscriber, Head to www.mysprint.sprint.com

• “My Sprint”
  • “My Device & Media”
    • Login to check your data usage!

-        If you’re a Verizon subscriber:

• You can find online by accessing your account here.
• Or you can simply send a text message to #DATA (#3282) to find out how much data you’ve used during the current bill cycle
• Verizon also has a really nifty Data Usage Calculator so you can easily determine roughly how much data you will use each month

 

-        Or, if you don’t want to go through the hassle of logging into any of your accounts and would just rather use your nifty iPhone, here’s how you do that:

• On your iPhone go to your “Settings” (usually located on the home screen of your phone)
  • “General” (towards the bottom when you first arrive on the “settings” page)
    • “Usage” (third option down)
      • Scroll to the bottom to see your “Cellular Usage”
        • You can see your sent and received data amounts and can even reset it to keep track – kind of like when gauging how many mpg’s you’re car is getting when resetting your speedometer
