Checking data remaining without app

Any1else — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 21:53:03 GMT

I am the account holder and have my sons phone on my O2 app.

Is there anyway that he can check his data usage/remaining Gb without the app? He used to be on EE and he could click on a website link to see his data remaining. Wondered if O2 had that functionality?

Best way is to set the data on the phone's own controls and use that, @Any1else

Samsung example for illustration.

O2 have a web version too but it requires the login details for the account.

Thanks @pgn I know you can do that but he isnt Android and I dont think the ios version is accurate.

@MI5I dont want to give him the details of the account just to check his data usage.

No other way with O2 unfortunately.

Yes, I have heard the inbuilt ios cellular data monitor can be upwards of 10% off-true compared to cellular carrier's usage figures.

Would any of the apps mentioned in the article below do, @Any1else?
