You can find out total usage you’re using by logging into your service provider’s website/apps and checking your account details. You are advised to check using service provider’s website or apps to avoid issues in the future if any case of dispute arises.
| 3. Mobile Apps |
You can download an app from Play Store/App Store for your smartphone to track data usage and, in some cases, even turn off your data before you get to a pre-defined limit. You also can compare the usage using reliable apps on market with service provider’s apps just to make sure the usage is accurate. Whichever option you choose, monitoring your cell phone data usage can prevent excess fees when you’re on a limited data plan, are roaming or want to avoid extra tethering fees.
