Hi Tom,
Unless you are doing a lot of streaming music or video over cellular 2 Gb won’t give you any trouble. One thing you may want to make sure is turned off is a setting called WiFi Assist. You find it under Settings > Cellular and it’s almost at the bottom underneath all your apps. In fact, if you do a 4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen you land on the information which tells you when you last reset the usage statistics for your device, swipe left three times from there and you are where you want to be. If WiFi Assist is turned on your phone may use cellular data to “assist” your WiFi connection if it is not good and a few people have reported that this has used up most of their monthly data allowance in a week or two. I think this is one setting which should be off by default, but it is not. Apart from that I really have to do a fair bit to reach 2 Gb a months provided I use WiFi when I’m at home which is where I do most of the data intensive stuff like downloading Audible books etc. Normal stuff like email, iMessage, using Safari, Facebook, most other apps and even Facetime calls don’t use all that much data.

I have 2 GB per month. I rarely use my phone for other than a phone while I'm out. I notice under celular data that most of my apps are on. Does that mean only while I am out and access those apps, I will eat up celular data? I'm assuming this has nothing to do with me being at home and on a wifi or somewhere else where I'm logged in to a wifi network? I thought someone mentioned a long time ago some app you could get to warn you when you get close to your data alotment? Thanks for any help. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient&utm_term=oa-2115-v2-c> No threats detected. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient&utm_term=oa-2115-v2-c> www.avast.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
