Any way to show monthly data usage over the last year (or 2?)

[lanceuppercut]

I've been on a legacy "unlimited" tariff which I now understand is actually just 4GB but it's stuck in the old 3G days and considering changing over to a 4G tariff which of course, has data limits.

However I don't know how much data I've been using over the past year or so, to be able to make an informed choice as to what tariff I should be changing to as not to get caught short on data.

Is there any way I can check back to see what I've used on average per month?

That's a pity, I would've liked to known how much I actually have been using, I might be tempted to switch to a new 4G tariff (therefore one less person on the legacy tariff) if I knew how much I'm using!

As I said previously, if you call 202, they can give you an average monthly usage.

I believe I saw a post that said you use an iPhone. If so, here is a link to at least show you your monthly data usage: http://www.wikihow.com/Check-Data-Usage-on-an-iPhone

Not being an iPhone user I couldn't say for sure if that works for you. If it doesn't, here's a page of links from Google: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=how+to+see+data+usage...

Ended up doing it via the online chat instead of 202 (couldn't be bothered hanging on the line)

Thanks.

That does work but it doesn't automatically reset so it's of limited use as I've changed phones a few times since being on this tariff.

I was worried about suggesting live chat

but as long as you got your answer, that's the main thing.....

Well, as the limit for legacy accounts seems to be 4gb (the guy on the live chat called it a "fair usage policy of 3gb" which essentially means a 3gb data limit..) and that I'm paying the same £20 for same limit on the legacy tariff, I don't have much to lose if they take that away from me.

Got the fella to check my average usage (which shockingly is only 670mb!) but also peak usage going back 2 years was only 1.63gb.

I suppose I am on WIFI for most of my day, either at work or at home!

Even when I have tried to use loads of data I've rarely gone over 4gb so a 5gb tariff would probably do me OK, but I went for 8gb as a safety net....

Always go for a little extra just to be safe, when I was on simO I was on 250mb but I regularly used it all so when I upgraded I went to 500mb to have a little extra

Just trying to wrangle a better deal for SIM only at the moment with a poor web chat worker
