When the phone sleeps and wifi is then turned off (automatically), the cell data channel is used to communicate.
To avoid this, Settings>turn on airplane mode, then in wifi, turn on wifi.
I believe WiFi will stay on if the iPhone is plugged in. So, that's another option.

I was going to say either that or to remove the email from your email account settings(on ipad) and put it back on. Happens everytime im forced to change my work email password. I need to delete the account and add it again for it to accept the new password.

Why can't I use my cellular data on Iphone 5 while I already set it on?

It says 'couldn't not activate cellular data network'. I mean everything worked fine at the beginning but then recently I just couldn't use the cellular data anymore which is weird

It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

How do I connect to My cellular Data when I am not at home, ( gym) etc?

You normally don't need to do anything special. Your iPhone should always be connected to the cell network unless you're in a building that blocks connection to your cell carrier's network, or you connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network. Are you having problems of some kind?

How am I using so much data with iPhone 5?

Got the iPhone 5 Friday evening and by Tuesday afternoon I went over 5 gb of data usage. That's 5gb in 4 days. How is this possible?

ATT has been no help. They just gave me their basic canned responses about smart phones using data even when on wifi, when not actively using, etc. The last message from them actually suggested that I check for a hung up email that was trying to send. That was in response to a single data transmission of 2.4 gigbytes that I found on my bill.
As it stands after the first five days of owning the iPhone 5 I am on pace to use 33 gigbytes of data this month. Over the past two years I have averaged under 2 gigabytes per month. I used 2.4gb in a single data transmission!
The majority of the usage is in a small number of transmissions over a three day period. 5.3 gigabytes was used in six separate data transmissions:
381mb
120mb
1.1gb
2.4gb
990mb
333mb
I feel sorry for everyone with a capped data plan. They're going to be in for a rude awakening when they get their bill if my usage is any indication.

LG G3 Unlocked phone not able to use to cellular data

Hello I am using LG G3 Unlocked phone and my carrier is AT&T. I am able to connect to WiFi and everything is fine about it. But when I don't have WiFi accessible, the cellular data is not working. I made sure that the Cellular Data icon is turned on and the preferred network mode is set to already set to "GSM/WCDMA auto". The other preffered network modes were 1. GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, 2. WCDMA only, 3. GSM only. I can manually change and make it stay at WCDMA only. If I try to keep in the 1st option, it reverts backs to its original "GSM/WCDMA auto" status. The Access point names shows AT&T PTA and inside that it shows a preview of plenty other things like PORT, PROXY, USER NAME, PASSWORD and none of them can be edited. Please advice me on how I can use my cellular data.

You are right Glimmerman76. I am not able to link up to the LTE thing in my phone. It is currently using preffered Network mode as GSM/WCDMA auto and I cant change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto in the settings. Could you please suggest me on how I can get the LTE in my phone? Do I need to update my phone details with my carrier or do I need to make any changes to the new APN that I have created? Please advise me on this. I appreaciate your help. Thanks,Hari

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode?

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode? I disabled the cellular data for 3 days, and my battery last longer. I don't use push notifications, neither location services. I'm not signed in in skype or any IM app.

Do you use push email? Do you have accounts that have synchronized calendars associated with them? Those features will still use cellular data in the background as the receive mail and send or receive calendar updates.
Some notifications, like push notifications from Facebook and other social networking sites may use cellular data in the background. Basically, any automated data task like those may use cellular data when the phone is in standby (note that wifi would be used if available when the phone is active, but wifi turns off in standby and all data goes through the cellular data connection).

How do I use hotmail via Blackberry services and not via phone network so not using up my data?

Hi,
I have a new Blackberry 9360 and am having trouble with it. They said in the shop that I can access my yahoo mail without using up my 250mb of internet data, so can access it using the Blackberry services rather than the internet. I can't work out how to do this and can only seem to use the email through the internet where the messages come into my 'Messages' on the 'Home' screen, therefore I'm using up my data every time I open an email message when it comes in.
Can anyone please help me as I'm wishing I could go back to Nokia at the mo!
Many thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
They gave me the impresssion in the shop that I could access my existing yahoo hotmail, send and receive messages on it for free via the BlackBerry services and not use up my data allowance and they didn't mean the Blackberry email which is a different thing. Have they misled me with this?
Many thanks for any advice.

How can I connect to my wifi router, but still use my cellular data?

I have setup a (off the internet) router at work to allow other Iphone users to connect with each other, as well as use the Apple TV. My Iphone 4S tries to use the wifi for email, web browsing, youtube, Netflix, etc... I would like to use my cellular data to load Netflix and such, and then stream them over my local wifi to the Apple TV. Is there a setting I can change that will allow me to do this? Thank you.

Nope. You connect to either WiFi or the cellular data network, not both at the same time.

I just downloaded the latest OS upgrade and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.

I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan. I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining. However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover. Thanks much for any support that can be provided.

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

Internet is not working on cellular data after updating 8.0.2 in iphone 5s , wifi connectivity is fine , but no internet connection error message is start blinking even after cellular data is on , please help .

I am using iPhone 5s , internet is not working on cellular data even after it is on , wifi is working properly . Please help apple team.

Hello Mario:
I'm actually surprised that Apple continues to push out 8.02 without addressing these issues. The problem will only anger more users and certainly finger-poking at Airplane Mode isn't the answer. This is an iOS8 code problem and no amount of 'resetting' is providing a reliable fix/solution that sticks.
These issues with loss of cell connectivity, apps that have lost functionality, etc., which are all directly associated to the arrival of iOS8, are so widespread in the user community and pervasive within individual iPads that it's clear there are significant fundamental problems with this release. Given the problems are so blatant, it's fair to ask the question of how they got by the Apple validation team.
What is the status at Apple on rolling out a fully V&V'd version to resolve this? Respectfully, when it comes to some of my more useful apps, my personal iPad has become a paperweight. The user forums are full of these iOS8 complaints for several weeks and there doesn't seem to be a competent answer from Apple. Even a "We're aware and we're working on it" would be well received.
Any hope that you can provide will be appreciated. (I'll be monitoring the thread on my Dell laptop because, well, my iPad is i-Inop!).
Thanks!

How can I change my cellular data carrier

How do you change the cellular data plan carrier. I want out of ATT because they over charge me.

Hey tamaze,
Thanks for the question. Your best bet may be to contact your carrier:
iPhone and iPad: Using cellular networks while in another country
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1807
Many carriers offer international voice and data plans. Always contact your current carrier for details about international-roaming countries, SIMs, rates, and policies before you travel to another country. While you may not need an international plan to use voice or data roaming on your iPhone or iPad, your carrier may charge additional fees or higher data rates if you don't have an international plan.
Thanks,
Matt M.

What is using my cellular data?

iPad 2, freshly reset, recently updated to iOS 6.1. The only installed app is Skype, which is set to go offline after 60 min. Location services are disabled, cellular data for Appstore ist also disabled.
I now had the iPad lying around for two days and according to my cell bill on both days around 3 am it used the internet, yesterday 15 kB, the day before 140 kB. This is a problem because in my cellular data plan any day where I use cellular data, I have to pay 2,50 €.
I know that I can disable cellular data completely, but I would rather have the iPad just don't use it when it's off (for more than an hour, when Skype shut down).
What can also cause this traffic?
Or are there any apps to block all applications from using cellular data except Safari and Skype?

If the phone is asleep and not connected to an external power source, it will use the cellular data connection for mail, push notifications, etc. This is by design. To keep the WiFi radio on with no external power source connected would drastically reduce battery life. Of course, it appears Safari and App Store are using WiFi, because they can only be used interactively... Mail will use WiFi as well IF the phone is not asleep and is connected to a WiFi network.
If you turn cellular data off, the phone will power up the WiFi radio to poll the mail server since there is no other option.
You can set mail to retrieve message manually instead of using push or polling. This will ensure that pulling down your mail can only be initiated by you, and if you make sure you have a live WiFi connection before doing so, it shouldn't be a problem.
Since you've seen a sharp increase in the last month, I'm assuming you're either getting much more mail than you had been previously, or you've been getting more 'large' messages or both.
I don't know what kind of data usage you're used to seeing or what you consider a sharp increase. Is it pushing you over your cap?
