Data allowance & battery running out fast

[Anonymous]

My data allowance usually easily lasts for a month. This month it ran out in 2 weeks. I added a bolt on which lasted 3 days when my phone was hardly used. My battery is running out super fast too. What's happening?

It sounds like you have something running and using a lot of data hence the battery drain. Check your apps and make sure they are all closed down and uninstall anything you have recently added. If you tell us which phone you have we can point you in the right direction.

Ok. I've asked this to be posted in the iOS section. Someone will be along to answer this with more Apple expertise. In the meantime, do a search for high data usage in the box at the top of the community page.
