| Topic | how much mobile data do you use? |
| Yellow 02/20/20 7:10:13 PM #28: | SunWuKung420 posted... None of my posts said anything regarding those that turn off data. Few do and of course they wouldn't send any data packets. But for those on wifi or those that don't even use their phone but it's on (but not connected to wifi), packets get sent to the provider, even when not in use.4G/3G data packets will typically not be sent if you are connected to wifi. If you're connection is bad, AppleOS has an option to use data to help (I imagine they switch fully to one or the other due to having separate IP addresses). Android has an option to disable wifi on sleep, which is disabled by default. 4G (the norm these days) accounts for all text talk and data, and does not care if you have wifi enabled. Though technically all voice and text is sent to the same place your internet connection is using the same channel, no internet requests will be sent if you don't make any, and all internet requests will be denied if your carrier sees you have used up your limit. https://www3.nd.edu/~mhaenggi/NET/wireless/4G/ Note that your phone will remain connected to these networks at all times, even if you don't have a plan or even a SIM card. This is how you can still make emergency calls. It won't charge your internet data usage unless you intentionally do something to use internet data. It's not a leaky bucket that holds your money. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
