That is an excellent question, Sandy, thanks for posting! I would advise that if you do need data though you would need to turn it back on again before it would work. Hi Teresita, thanks for your question! We do recommend connecting to WiFi as often as possible to keep usage down but if you have any questions about any other ways to help minimize this, give us a call at or chat with us here.
Does sending texts to a group of 3 or 4 use data? Thanks for asking, Marilyn. We appreciate you posting today! Those are great questions, David! A third party app would be an option that you downloaded from the Play Store, and would not be one that came pre-installed on your phone. We appreciate you posting, and we hope you have a wonderful day! By definition, the CC app is a third party app and can use a lot of my data allowance.
Thank you for posting, Barbara. The My CC app comes installed on most devices we offer. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any other questions. We hope you have a lovely day! Thanks for posting, Denise. That device is not designed to access the internet.
Thank you again for reaching out to us, and we hope you have a great day! When I check my CC account for the data usage, The data usage is only at 12am, 6am,12pm and 6pm. Why is that and how can I get the actual data use time?
Thanks, Dave. Thanks for posting, David. You can review your data usage by going to the Settings app and selecting Data Usage. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us today! Why would so much he used? Thank you for posting, Karen. Since the usage is reported to us in batches, that does not mean that the usage was used the same date that the report was received.
From there you can see what apps are using data, as well as a graph showing when data was used. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at ! Thank you for posting, Betty! If the signal gets weak, your device may need to reconnect to cellular data in order to allow your apps to work properly.
We appreciate you reaching out to us, and we hope you have a great day! If I stream video through the browser on my phone and I have home WiFi and am home, does my phone use data, yes or no? Thank you for reaching out to us, and we hope you have a lovely day!
If I buy a smart thermostat and smart furnace, can I check the thermostat using the data plan vs wifi?? Hi Gary, if the smart thermostat and smart furnace use a third-party app on your phone that connects to the internet, then you should be able to use the app while on data or on Wi-Fi, whichever is available.
I just bought a phone from CC, but theres no place on there to connect to my wifi. Or am I missing it. If you have any questions about this process though feel free to give us a call at or you can also chat with an agent here for further assistance. Please put a switch on your app allowing data to be turned on or off for each phone in an account. I have teens who will use data all the time. I want to switch to CC but this feature not being available is holding me back.
Thanks for posting, Dave. That's right. You can download any size application from the App Store using LTE, including expansive games, massive dictionaries, photo and video editors, and other larger-than-usual apps.
Many people in the United States have unlimited data plans with their carrier, so it's only right to remove the limitations and allow for unlimited downloads. In iOS 13, the default setting for App Store downloads is to ask you if you want to install an app that's over MB. It does not block you but asks you for permission to proceed.
In general, most Social Media Apps like Twitter, Facebook and others have an inherent tendency to constantly keep in touch with their parent servers, in order to bring fresh updates. This activity happens in background and such apps continue to use your expensive cellular data, even if they are not actively being used.
As you can see in the image above, the Apps consuming the most amount of data are appearing at the top of the list.
