Hi

Use wifi.

Don't watch hd video on mobile data.

Streaming will use lots of mb

Looking at picture rich web pages use more data.

Tethering uses more data.

When at home or in a place offering wifi turn off mobile data as some phones auto switch to mobile data when the phone goes to sleep.

Online gaming uses lots of data.

E mail with attachments use more too.

Having e mail set to push instead of fetch uses more data.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Are you using your phone as a sat nav ?

Their are options to pre download the maps so data usage is not needed while out and about.
