Hello, I have recently just got my first smart phone: finally :smileyhappy: and to be quite honest I haven't a clue about data and how this works. This is what I understand so far. The amounts I use is tracked by my phone, and Verizon with a little of play between the two. I have set the phone to stop at 1.9 of my current limit of 2 GB's. But there is an option to do WI-FI which I have set up in my home and can do in my place of work and school. What does that do? Is it just a faster connection, does it lighten the load on my data, does it stop my "data" usage: while still having internet?
If someone can point me in the right direction to get this information or be kind enough to provide this elusive information I would be grateful. I did attempt to look for the answer but to no avail.
Does playing games use data if playing solo like angry birds, world of goo, field goal, cut the rope, etc..... I really like the phone and the data but am clueless to the inter working of the plans and don't want to kill my data on things that just are a waste of the limit I do have.
I also see many "app killers" to turn off apps when they are not in use. Should I use one of these to prevent data usage when I am sleeping or in school and do not need internet,
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to those that do.
Also I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android version. 4.0.2
