At Yesim we want to make sure you get enough data with your plan to suit your lifestyle. Whether it’s updating your status, surfing the web or listening to music, your data is important.
Check how much data you're using now
On your iPhone, go to Settings - Mobile Data. If you're using an iPad, you might see Settings - Cellular Data instead. Scroll down to find which apps are using cellular data. If you don't want an app to use cellular data, you can turn it off for that app. When cellular data is off, apps will only use Wi-Fi for data.
To see the cellular data usage for individual System Services, go to Settings - Mobile Data. Then scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap System Services. Cellular data can't be turned on or off for individual System Services.
