Does BBM use alot of data?

Hey
Just got my BB and wonder does using the BBM and having it on all the time use alot of data?
i have a 750mb plan and all i use is facebook msn(wlm) and BBM somtimes just google
will i use much of my 750mb or not
Thanks in advance

i couldnt say. it was just that i happen to be only upping, to dropbox, and then saw downloading on the monitor.
that was triggered as odd.
i rarely look at what services are going on... only if my macbook slows down or something else odd.
in both cases i was only upping to dropbox.
i dont do alot with my macbook, other than upping to dropbox laterly.
thankyou for your thinking and help.

  • Nsurlsessiond - what is this and why does it use alot of data?

    Hello
    Firstly
    I was in a public library, uploading to my dropbox account, and all of sudden my network speed indicator/ montior showed heaps of download and fast too.
    but i was not downloading anything.
    I was upping to my dropbox account.
    In activity monitor i noticed this service was operating "nsurlsessiond"
    What is this service?
    In my connection alert it tells me nsurlsessiond tried to establish a connection to apple-dnld.vo.llnwd.net on TCP port 80 (http)
    Secondly, i was using my own wifi, and saw this nsurlsessiond service consuming heaps of data. Again I was upping to my dropbox account. About 1gb this time.
    Now I have blocked communciation to "nsurlsessiond"
    What is the impact of blocking such communication?
    please see details of service in screenshot
    Now after this experience, I am wondering is it apple policy to have communication from our macbook's to somwhere without us knowingly allowing it?  I thought apple was respective of our privacy, or has this changed?
    thankyou for your help and time.
    regards

  • My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

    My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
    This just started happening 3 days ago.
    When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
    The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
    When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
    I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
    I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
    Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
    WIFI OFF:
    WIFI ON:
    I hope someone can assist me with this!
    Thanks!!

    There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
    iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
    As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

  • By what time zone does Verizon use to log data usage?  When I checked my current usage, there is data used logged in at early morning times and I don't have anyone else who is up at these times.

    By what time zone does Verizon use to log data usage?  When I checked my current usage, there is data used logged in at early morning times and I don't have anyone else who is up at these times.  I also have 1.8+ GB charged to my allowance that I don't understand at all how it is mine because the highest I've ever logged at any given time has been barely 0.5 GB.  I'm cruising along at .04-.07 GB and all of a sudden appears a 1.8+ GB deduction/usage and it makes me wonder what the ???? is going on.  Is Verizon posting fraudulent usage amounts just to drive up my usage so I have to buy more Gigs?

    The time is not the time of actual use, but the time a tower reports the use. The data would have been used anytime prior to that time. Usually, but no always, the usage happened between the time prior and the time reported.
    For example:
    9:00 AM   1.23 MB
    7:05 AM   0.01 MB
    1:15 AM  350.03 MB
    8:00 PM   23.89 MB
    This does not indicate 350 MB was used at 1:15 AM. It really tell you 350 MB was used sometime between 8:00 PM and 1:15 AM.
    The times are local time zone as far as I can tell.

  • HT3529 does imessage use up my data

    does imessage use up my data?

    Only if the game or app requires an internet connection and when not connected to the internet via an available wi-fi network your iPad has access to.
    To test if a game or an app requires internet access to function, turn on Airplane Mode before using the game or app. If internet access is required, you will be provided a warning message that internet access is required. 

  • When I am on 3G on iMessege, does it use all my data while iMesseging or use any money?

    Hi, I was wondering if when I can't connect to wifi, and I turn 3G on does it use all my data or money to iMessage?

    If you use iMessage you use your data plan or wifi.
    If you don't want to use your data plan and turn off iMessage in the settings
    so you can use your text plan.

  • Has anyone had issues with their galaxy s4s using alot of data for no reason at all?

    I had my data on both phones and internet peice at home turned off and got 3 overages within 15 mins of each other .  I calle verizon to help with the situation... but no help.  They said that we were using the data?  I work in a wireless center so i know how to turn it off and I KNOW it was off.  Its ridiclous that my husbands new s4 has used 23 gb of data when he isn't using it that much.  Im stuck now paying a 444 bill because this phone is wacko.  Ive been with them over 3 years.  He just upgraded.  Why wont they try to do something to help... all they say is ma'am  you are using that much data.  Um no we aren't.  STUPID.  Im beginning to HATE!!! verizon.  Im out of contract.  Thinking about closing my account and going with someone cheaper, because I cannot afford a 444 bill every month because they won't help fix the situation.

        fallenangelgirl99, we don't want you to go and we're here to help in any way that we can. You have the option of changing your plan during the bill cycle to avoid data overage charges.

  • Sunday 17-Jan-2010: In week 2 or week 3? Does Apple use ISO week dates?

    According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISOweekdate "All week-numbering years start with a Monday and end with a Sunday."
    http://personal.ecu.edu/mccartyr/isowdcal.html shows this too.
    However, my MBP running 10.5.8. shows today, Sun 17 Jan 2010 as week 3.
    This can be seen quickly by, following http://lifehacker.com/316029/display-the-date-on-the-menubar and dragging the Week of Year into the clock time shown on the menu bar, and viewing it on a Sunday.
    Or does Apple not follow the ISO week date numbering standard?
    Thanks,
    Martin.

    Actually, Apple does use (or is supposedly using) ISO 8601, but the System Preferences settings can override some of these, such as the region, calendar, or first day of the week.
    Actually, I think it is still an open question. According to Apple developer documentation:
    NSISO8601Calendar Identifier for the ISO8601. The ISO8601 calendar is not yet implemented.
    It does look like some of the conversions are a bit off, even in Snow Leopard, unless there is something I'm missing, too. Changing the date format (week starts with Monday) in System Preferences shows the correct week there (2), but getting the date from AppleScript, for example, shows week 3.
    I played around with my system preferences and could change the week start day, but I could never get an ISO 8601 date. Today (Sun, Jan 17th, 2010), I get either week 4 (Sunday) or week 3 (Monday).
    Clearly there are lots of date and time APIs to choose from and many of them on MacOS X already support this format. They haven't made it to the official system preferences level. Considering all the other calendar formats that Apple supports, I think this is a bug and mostly reflects MacOS X's American heritage. Americans don't use this value at all and don't even know to add it to a locale option.
    I filed a bug report on it. Don't hold your breath for it getting fixed anytime soon. In the meantime, here is a widget that will display the current week number: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/weeknumber_ntnu.html

  • Does GPS use the internet data connection?

    Hi everyone,
    I'll be using a German iPhone while traveling all over the world. The data connection is free within Germany (in other words, flat-rate internet) but quite expensive out of the country, 49 euro cents per 50kb block when I'm in the US, for example... I was hoping to use the GPS/map function a lot, but I'm afraid this will be expensive...
    Does the GPS/map function actually use the internet connection, for which I'll be charged per 50kb block?
    Or is GPS a separate kind of connection?
    I was hoping to just casually surf the web while traveling on trains across the globe, but I guess that would be a very expensive pastime...
    Thanks!
    Alexandra

    There is no charge for accessing GPS, but maps data is not stored locally on the iPhone. When using the Maps application, all maps data is downloaded from the internet - via an available wi-fi network you have access to, or via the cellular network. You can access GPS alone without a wi-fi or cellular connection, but it won't do you much good without any maps data.

  • What is DNS Services and why does it use so much data?

    I have 300MB to use a month on my iPhone 4S (most recent iOS) and I'm normally pretty good with it because I'm connected to WiFi a lot. All of a sudden, my data usage spikes and my DNS services usage has gone up to 40MB. What is this and how do I keep it from spiking like this? It's incredibly annoying.
    Also, any other tips on saving data while connected with the 3G? As mentioned before, I only have 300MB so I like to stretch it for the month.

    DNS (Domain Name Service) is the Internet "address book" of web sites. Whenever you go to a site such as http://apple.com your browser must make calls to the DNS server specified in your Network Settings to translate "apple.com" into Apple's IP (Internet Protocol) address of 17.178.96.59. Any time you access any Internet resource (such as sending or receiving email, playing multi-player games, using a browser, Using any app that accesses data on the Internet such as news, weather, stocks, etc) one or more DNS lookups must be made. Many web sites have content from several different sites. Each site referenced on the page must also be looked up. Each query is small (~100 bytes), but they can add up.

  • Does Safari use send referrer data for open tabs?

    If I have 8 tabs open in iPhone Safari and click a link that opens a "new" window (new meaning it takes over an open tab), does Safari send the referrer to the destination's web site/analytics as the spawning URL or the page that was overtaken? I don't mind if it's the spawning but I hate the idea of the open page being shared.
    Any insight anyone might have?
    Thanks!

  • Does texting and/or sending photos via text use up my data allowance?

    I am just trying to confirm this for a friend---that texting and sending photos via text does not use up my data allowance. Can anyone confirm this for me?

    After thinking about this a bit more, we would need to know HOW you text and send photos.
    Sending SMS/MMS text/photos DOES NOT use up your data allowance. This is what I assumed when you simply said "texting and sending photos via text".
    After thinking further, SMS/MMS is not the only way people "text and send photos via text. For example, iPhones can use iMessage and THOSE messages would use up your data allowance for actual messages sent via iMessage to/from other iPhones.
    Other apps have their own texting capabilities which will ALSO use up your data allowance. Examples would be Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Instagram, Tango, etc...
    If you are simply sending via SMS/MMS, then no you are not using up your data allowance. If you are utilizing some other method, then the answer could very well be yes.

  • My iphone5 using too much data

    ANyone know why im using so much data on my iphone 5 ive never down loaded music films or any thing and used up 1gb in 17days

    Your probably using alot of facebook and twitter and the internet. All use alot of data.The Iphone 5 just uses data for everything either use WIFI whenever you can or upgrade your phone plan to the most data possible. Make sure you close down the apps too when your not using them. Sneaky phone services probably charge you for that.

    If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.

  • HT3819 Hi there. If I use "home sharing" on the same wifi network, does it use internet data, or only sharing over a home network?

    Hi there. If I use itunes over home sharing in my house on 2 pc's, does it use data from my internet, or does it work over local home network?

    You'd need both computers to be connecting to the same wifi network in order to Home Share.
