joshualoy Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I just bought an iPhone 5 (Verizon). I like everything about it, except for how easy it is to blow through a tiered data plan on 4g. Does anyone have any ideas on how to reduce this data usage? I already tried using an app called Onavo, but a speed test reveals a dramatic drop in speed (Even when on Wi-fi). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGR Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 How much does you data plan cover? The phone itself shouldn't blow through a lot of data monthly, it's just the matter of controlling yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well, if you turn off the auto synch then you could have lot of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I was on an iPhone 5 for a year and now a 5S - I haven't had any issues with using too much data but I am usually near wifi. Even the few times where I've streamed music when not around wifi - the usage wasn't too bad. Sharing 10GB of data between 7 lines, we usually have 50 to 70% left at the end of the billing cycle but a few times we've been down to 10% or close to going over - but not due to an iPhone.
