How To Keep Track of Your Data Usage For iPhone 3G

Unfortunately, not every carrier in every country provides unlimited data plans to go with Apple’s next generation revolutionary internet device, or even reasonable data. If you’re in one of the Pacific or European, Latin or African country with very expensive data, or if you just want to keep track of how much you’re using and when, Apple has provided you and easy way to do it. Read on to find out how!

From the Home screen tap the Settings icon.


In Settings, tap General, then tap Usage. Near the bottom, you’ll see Cellular Network Data, both Sent and Received.

WARNING: Your iPhone may not always exactly match the data usage of your carrier, so if you’re near your limit, or have any reason to be concerned, always check directly with your carrier for updated, billable data usage.

To reset your usage data (for example, if one month ends and you want to start a fresh count for the next month), just scroll down and hit the Reset button.

As an alternative, you can consider using it like a car’s odometer instead, and just note down where you are at the end of one month, and subtract that a the end of the next to get each month’s total, and an overall total.
