Looking to reduce your data consumption? Here’s a couple of handy tips to reduce data usage:
- Stick to WiFi wherever possible and download content when you’re connected to WiFi instead of streaming while using your mobile data
- Force close any apps that may be running in the background
- Turn off background app refresh:
- If you’re using an iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh > Off or toggle the individual apps you don’t want running in the background
- If you’re using an Android: Pull down the notification bar for Settings > tap Settings button > tap Connections > Data Usage > from the Mobile section tap Mobile Data Usage > Choose an app from below the usage graph > tap Allow background data usage to turn off.
- Take your GPS maps offline
- Did you know? You can download maps before you head off somewhere so you can still find your way even when you’re not connected to WiFi or mobile data.
- Switch off autoplay on video apps such as YouTube
- Need more data? Add a 10GB data pack in the app or upgrade your plan to our 50GB Mobile Plan ($30/mth) or Unlimited Mobile Data Plan ($40/mth).
