Mobile data usage

Hi Guys, When I use my Samsung S4 android phone for GM forum use, it seems to gobble up all my data allowance.

Any suggestions or what settings i should be using .

I have a data allowance of 250mb plus a set amount of calls/ text messages I think
. I'm on a Tmobile/EE £10 a month SIM only deal, using Samsung galaxy ace4 Android . That I hate lol.

250mb is a small amount of data. Speak to them about changing your plan. I use around 5gb of data a month.
On the s4 if you open the settings page (the symbol is a small cog) you can view your data usage and it will tell you what's the main culprit for eating your data.

250 is not a lot at all. a tenner on giffgaff gets you a gig. background services use data too. Consider switching off data when you dont need it, set email to synch on demand rather than push and use mobile sites where possible.

Ensure the mobile forum view is set, stops lots of the unnecessary pics loading when on your phone.

I would also get online and check what the best deal available is for you. Depends on if you are tied into a long term deal with current supplier.

I got a cracking deal with 3 for unlimited data after a bit of searching online.
