Would you like to join the club?I know that so many people that I see for appointments or classes find the whole area of 'internet data' very confusing. What is meant by the terms 3G, 4G, cellular, mobile data, Wi Fi? Understanding these concepts is so important when you venture into the world of technology, by getting an iPad, iPhone, other tablet or smartphone, Mac or other computer. For those of you who are iTandCoffee Club Members, we have a special offer this week, one that will help you gain a better understanding of these concepts. For a limited time, iTandCoffee Club members can download the iTandCoffee's Getting Connected guide for no cost. Visit the iTandCoffee ClubHouse to find out how to download your Getting Connected guide. If you are not yet a member of the iTandCoffee Club and would like to take advantage for this and future special offers (as well as gain access to a vast range of useful tips, hints, videos and articles about your technology), you can join today! Cost of membership is less that the cost of one cup of coffee per month!

If you follow this blog, you will know that I downloaded the app DataMan a few months ago, to monitor my WiFi and Cellular data usage on my iPhone and iPad. It is a really worthwhile app to have on your devices, as it can warn you when you are likely to exceed your monthly limit of Cellular data. Not only this, it can also highlight to you that, even when think you are on a Wi-Fi network, you can also be unexpectedly using your cellular data from time to time. DataMan has a new feature A great new 'widget' has been added to DataMan app. This Notification Center widget allows you to really easily start a 'stopwatch' on your data usage to track how much data you use between the time that you start the 'stopwatch' and then stop it again. DataMan is $2.49 in the App Store. Need more information on this app, or on managing your i-Device's data?Here are some previously published tips and articles from iTandCoffee, on the topic of Data Management:

This is an app that I have downloaded this week to my iPad Mini.
My Mini has a 500MB/month Telstra SIM card in it. I need to keep a close eye on my cellular usage with this SIM, as it is part of my Telstra Home Bundle and they will charge me excess data if I go over the 500MB limit - something I worry that I could easily do when I am out and about working, and using cellular data on that iPad.
I certainly have! It can be a very expensive mistake!
I blew my limit within one minute recently, because I was using my iPhone's Personal Hotspot so that I could get internet on my Macbook while I was away. My mistake was that I forgot that my Dropbox on the Macbook hadn't sync'd the large number of files that I had just moved into Dropbox on my main computer the day before. So as soon as I connected to the internet using my phone's Personal Hotspot, a huge number of files automatically downloaded! Ow. (By the way, have you found your Personal Hotspot?! And do you know about Dropbox? iTea&Coffee can help you discover both!) In this week's handy hint, we look at how you can turn off your data usage in cases where you are getting close to your limit, and how you can limit what apps and features actually use your cellular data.
Note. There are a couple of other settings that you may also need to check and turn off as well.
We will cover these in a future Handy Hint - but if you want help now with sorting out data usage issues, email iTea&Coffeeor call 1300 885 320. |
