How to determine your iPhone data usage

iPhone

This brief tutorial will show you how to determine how much data you’ve used on your iPhone’s wireless data plan.

Though some mobile providers allow unlimited data usage, if you live in Canada you know full well that some do not. Canadians have to be very careful how much data they use on their iPhone’s to avoid huge overage fee’s.

  1. Start by selecting the Settings button on your iPhone’s springboard.

  7. Finally, on the Usage page check the Cellular Network Data section. This will show how much data you’ve sent and received. You’ll need to add the two numbers together to get your total usage. It’s a good idea to set a reminder in your iPhone’s calendar to reset the usage (tap the Reset Statistics button) at the beginning of each billing cycle (which you can find on your cell phone bill or from your mobile provider).
