Mobile data is the internet you get from your phone company. Video uses more of it than anything else, so a little planning avoids surprise charges.
1

Know the numbers

HD video uses about 3 GB per hour, and 4K about 7 GB per hour. A two-hour game in HD comes to about 6 GB. Many phone plans include only a limited amount.
2

Check your plan

Your phone company’s app or bill shows your monthly amount. Ask them if you are not sure. Some “unlimited” plans slow down after a set amount.
3

Check how much you have used

Open your phone’s Settings, then look for Network or Connections, then Data Usage. You can see your use this month.
4

Set a warning

In the same area, you can set a warning or a limit. Set one a little below your plan’s amount. Your phone will alert you.
5

Choose a lower quality

If a channel comes in SD or HD versions, choose SD on your phone. On a small screen, the difference is often hard to notice. It uses far less data.
6

Use Wi-Fi when you can

At home and at family members’ homes, connect to Wi-Fi first. Check for the Wi-Fi symbol at the top of your screen before you start watching.
7

Stay safe on the road

Never watch while driving. If you are the driver, park first.
