How to Manage Your Phone’s Data Use
Smart phones give you access to a wealth of information and media, but most networks put a limit on the amount of data you can use each month. A typical phone contract includes a data allowance of between 500MB and 10GB per month. 1. You see, your usage can mount up surprisingly quickly — watching a film on the phone is about 700MB in SD, an hour of streaming TV is around 500MB or 60-140MB for the same of radio, chatting on Skype for an hour is around 40MB. 2.
·If possible, wait until you can connect to free Wi-Fi before using your phone’s data features.
·When you are on the road, use your car’s GPS, not your phone, to find the way.3. But maps are preloaded in a GPS, making this free to use.
·4. Many of these are funded by ads that pop up on your screen. Every ad has to download through your network, using up your data allowance.
·If you regularly need to use a lot of data on your phone, consider a data-compressing(压缩) app, such as Onavo(www.onavo.com).5. So you use less of your monthly allowance. You may have to subscribe to such compression services, so you’ll need to weigh up whether it’s worth the cost.
A. The more data, the higher the monthly cost.
B. Remember to use free Wi-Fi anywhere you go.
C. Try these tips to better manage your data use.
D. It compresses data before it is fed to your phone.
E. But you might end up paying more than expected.
F. The phone has to download map data as you move.
G. Be careful of how many “free” games you play on the phone.
