it may be available. You can use a Wi-Fi finder app to help you locate
available Wi-Fi networks. Connect to Wi-Fi before you stream music,
video, and other data heavy content.
A UTO UPDATES: Turn off auto updates on your apps or change your
settings to update using Wi-Fi only.

to upload using Wi-Fi only.

or greater. You can also set e-mail accounts to update manually and get
email only when you want it.

since full websites require more data to view and browse them.

constantly use data and can also slow down the processing speed of
your phone.

of your data usage. With Android™ version 4.0 and later you can set a
mobile data limit reminder.
