That's saved me a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1049088 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:07:11 +0000 Ash 1049088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use wi-fi as much as I can. I only get 2gb/month and never go over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1049031 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 09:56:57 +0000 wahine08 1049031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: That's a good tip about shutting off cellular. </p> <p>I definitely have my phone hooked up to wifi at work and home (where I use it most) I also try to get the wifi passwords at family's homes.. like my in laws or my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1048943 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 09:34:04 +0000 BSB 1048943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: Just thought of another tip. Do you push your emails to your phone. I heard you can reduce data usage by turning off the push feature and manually checking email when you open up the app.</p> <p>Also, if you have an iPhone, you can turn your cellular data off so it's not using data while you sleep. Go to settings/ general/ cellular/ switch to off. I believe you can still receive phone calls. I use this feature whenever I travel to Canada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1045062 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:40:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1045062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: haha yup. We're also grandfathered into the unlimited data... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1045042 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:29:22 +0000 BSB 1045042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: really?? I guess I don't use that much data. (I thought I did.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1045038 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:25:51 +0000 regberadaisy 1045038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: AT&amp;T does the same! Dh and I have both gotten warnings before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1045029 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:22:41 +0000 Lindsay05 1045029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Its a canadian company. Yep they totally rip us off. We dont even have any real competitors to switch to :( I do try and use wi-fi when I can, good tip though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1044984 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:57:53 +0000 BSB 1044984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: Kinda common sense, but you use wi-fi whenever possible, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1044979 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:57:08 +0000 BSB 1044979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: Who is your cellular provider? AT&amp;T, Verizon, Sprint... etc. </p> <p>They throttle your speed down once you get to a certain point??</p> <p>I have AT&amp;T and I have unlimited data. I would be pissed if they slowed my speed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-saving-mobile-data#post-1044922 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:29:33 +0000 Lindsay05 1044922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a certain amount of data per month on my cellular plan. I am signed up for unlimited but once I reach a certain point my provider throttles me back so that my speed is super slow. So far I have:</p> <p>1. Downloaded Opera mini web browser which supposedly compresses websites so they run more efficiently. </p> <p>2. Deleting apps that are running in the background.</p> <p>3. Turning off location service. </p> <p>I do operate my own business so I am constantly upgrading programs and uploading pictures. </p> <p>Any other ideas on how you save data? </p>
