Thanks, Scott. That is interesting about the data session. Just before doing 
the testing I had logged onto mail and fetch some. Then when I didn't get the 
numbers I thought I would get, I redid it, having just opened a page in Safari 
where I had never been before. And I had Wi-Fi turned off, so I know I was on 
LTE. So I don't know what it takes to get a data session, but there you go. I 
got the info I needed, as you say.
