Do you have to turn cellular data on to receive photo attachments by text?

Do you have to turn on cellular data on iPhone 5 in order to receive photo attachments sent by text?

I never turn off cellular on the phone - the phone function is still the primary use for me and there are some data sevices I prefer to keep on at al times. You can restrict some functions from using cellular however: Settings App > General > Cellular > and set as needed in the Use Cellular Data for section. Aslo Check location services and turn off those apps you really don't need location services for.
But ultimately I agree with pdrith. Monotor your cellular data (your provider may even have an app to do that - Verizon in the US does), and based on your plan make a decision about how much you need to worry about it.

Is the mobile data (2G, 3G or LTE) transfer automatically off when wi-fi activated? Do I have to turn mobile data off manually?

Is this process automatic?

The process of transferring between the type of cellular data connection available at the time and between cellular data and an available wi-fi network and back again is automatic.
Cellular data access is not turned off when connected to an available wi-fi network and vice-versa. Visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via a carrier's cellular data or internet network only even when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network when not answering the phone and the caller leaves a voicmail.
If you want to turn cellular data off when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network, you must turn Cellular Data off manually.

After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know

Phone Model and OS
Model - iphone 5
IOS 8.0.2
Problem Description
After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
Steps:
1. Enable Cellular Data
2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
3. check whether mail is received or not
tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usage

Mail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

Is there a quick way to turn Cellular Data on and off?

I just sent this suggestion in to Apple:
I have limited data on my Iphone 4s, well 2gb and I try to use my wifi as much as possible while home especially. I don't know the technical term for it, but when you swipe up from the bottom of the phone and : wifi, airplane mode, bluetooth, do not disturb comes up to quickly turn those functions on and off wouldn't it make more sense to replace airplane mode with cellular data? That way we can quickly access and turn cellular data on and off instead of going through the settings, cellular data on/off. Just thought this would make our lives easier and hope you will consider it on your next update.
Does anyone know if I have the cellular data turned on, but the WIFI is being used first, if that still uses up my Cellular data? I think I know enough that if the "verizon" is in the upper left corner that the wifi is being used through my router but then if my 3G is displayed than I'm going through my cellular data. Sorry, I'm new to the Iphone scene so I'm still learning.
Ok, thanks in advance.

Actually, all the display of Verizon on the phone shows is that you are connected to their network, it does not show that you are on wi-fi, or cellular data. If the wi-fi fan is displayed, then you are on wi-fi. If the phone is displaying 3G then you are using cellular data. If you are connected to wi-fi, the phone defaults to wi-fi and will use that instead of cellular data. However, if the phone is not actively utilizing data and the phone goes into sleep mode, then wi-fi is disconnected. It will connect immediately after being awoken.
Does this answer your questions?

Unable to turn cellular data on for apps

I'm running a 32GB iPhone 5C on 7.1.2 on Verizon.
before the last update I had gone over on my data allotment and then went into the cellular data settings and turned off the cellular data for almost every app I could. Some of these included the music app, podcast app, angry birds, google drive and documents, and just any app that I don't need sucking off my cellular data allotment.
well the 7.1.2 software update changed the settings (I don't know why Apple changes these things when there's no reason to, it's getting frustrating having to learn how to use my phone after each update) and you can no longer go into cellular data and flip the switch for all the apps on one single page. So now I have apps like the Podcasts and Google Apps that I open, am alerted the cellular data is turned off for them but when I click settings (the other option is just a confirmation of the message receipt) it takes me to a section in the settings that is no longer listing all my apps with the cellular data switch.
so my problem is that I've turned off cellular data, updated
software that for no reason neutered my ability to turn it on/off for individual apps, with no way to turn the cellular data back on for those apps. I can't imagine why Apple would do this, unless app developers were complaining to Apple that people were
turning cellular data off to avoid advertisements.
I have reset network settings, scoured the settings menu for options, tried most things suggested for other problems and still nothing. And I'm not going to reset my phone because as soon as I load my backup I'll be in the same boat. Oh I've also tried uninstalling and redownloading the apps as well.
and on a side note whoever put the . Button next to the space bar during certain keypad operations is an a hole because most of the searches I do look like this:
"What is the distance.to.the.moon"

so now I've done everything from resetting settings, resetting network settings, turning wifi off, turning phone in and off, messing with cellular data and background app refresh as well as notifications.
trying to use an app that has no cellular data while wifi is
off does not force the app to show up under Settings > Cellular Data.
it appears as though a lot of people are having this problem and sometimes the above mentioned things work and sometimes they don't. It looks like having Cellular Data turned off for
certain apps during an iO
God **** it now I have to write things in the Notes app and copy/paste them here because it's randomly not inputting my text and when I start typing it says "GGo" instead of Go, double typing the first letter. Why the **** doesn't Apple have a mobile app/setup of this?
Anyway it looks like if you have Cellular Data turned off for an app and do an iOS update it causes this bug. Sometimes the things above work, sometimes not. This is insanely frustrating.

Pay as you go iphone 4s cellular data on or off?

Hi all
My son has an iphone 4s on EE pay as you go and we would like to know whether we should have 'cellular data' turned on or off?
We were told by EE that if cellular data (not sure why it says cellular data, when my iphone 4 says mobile???) is turned on then his 'credit' will go very quickly?!? Which is has done!
If we have cellular data turned off he then cannot receive iMessages or SMS??? unless he uses WIFI which isnt available when hes out and about?
If we turn cellular data on (so that he can receive iMessages and SMS) is there an option for his 'credit' not to be used up on data?
Thanx for any help offered

iMessage requires a data connection, either WiFi or 3G. MMS requires a cellular data connection, & SMS requires a cellular connection, but not cellular data.
FYI: An iPhone is designed to always have a data connection, either WiFi or 3G. Trying to manage an iPhone, without a data connection, is kinda like trying to force a square peg in a round hole. Possible? perhaps, but not done easily or effectively.

What brand/model USB drive? Is it bus or AC powered?
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

If you have wifi plus cellular and you use in Europe, do long distance phone rates apply?

If you have wifi plus cellular and you use in Europe (connecting via cellular), do long distance phone rates apply?

No, since the iPad is not a phone. But unless you use a local carrier when you're in another country from that where you have your service, international data roaming rates would probably apply, and international roaming is usually expensive.
Regards.

Does anyone know how to view the amount of songs you have and how much data it takes up in the new iTunes?

i have downloaded the new itunes on to my computer, but cant find where it says how many songs you have and how much data they will take up on my phone. thanks

Just a comment that the playlist size only shows in List View (not Grid or Artist view).

If I understand correctly what you're referring to, View menu -> Show Status Bar.
For some peculiar reason this option does not show up for me (11.0.1). I do see the "status bar" (i.e. size) of playlists at the bottom of each, and I know that I've seen this setting, but this View option seems to have vanished!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your MacBook for days, turn it off to save battery. If not, you can leave it in sleep mode. Sleep mode doesn't consume a lot of energy and allows you to start up your Mac in seconds, being faster than turning on the MacBook, so it's better to leave it in sleep mode

Do you have to get a data plan on the iPhone 4

I want to buy an iPhone 4 but i dont want to pay $50.00 a month for a bill. If I buy the iPhone 4 on Virgin Mobile with the super tab do you have to get a data plan or can you get a normal plan for talk and text???

Very likely, yes.
Call Virgin and ask.

I know there's heaps on this topic overall, but just want straight answer please - so if I turn Cellular Data OFF and Enable 3G OFF on Iphone4S, should I still be receiving emails via my Home Wi-fi...curious that's all doesnt make sense to me!

Thanks for your reply...I am worried about connection issues overall I guess, and that one popped into my head as a result...I was recently charged $75 from phone provider when my son went on YouTube for a mere 20 minutes (after useage data had been already used) (this may not relate in any way, however being a new user I am just a bit freaked out about what can/cannot happen on this darn phone lol!

It took a long time about 5 hours
Please help

Be patient. You don't get an immediately notification email. Record the Claim Number somewhere in case something goes wrong. It can take up to 72 hours. I got mine in about 54 hours.

I have a Galaxy SIII and recently stopped receiving visual notification for text messages. How do I correct it?

Hmmm that's strange TopDiver. Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you checked the notification settings on the device? To verify the notification setting on the device click on menu>settings>sound>notification sound, then test device notifications.
