Telecom giants in India are offering ‘Unlimited Data’ plans. However, there is a catch. Airtel, Jio, Vi, among other telecom operators, have multiple prepaid recharge plans in which their customers can get huge amounts of data to spend per day. They also offer such data services for postpaid customers. However, there is a limit, and post that limit, the speed is throttled to very low levels under the service providers’ Fair Usage Policy (FUP). It could be frustrating to access the Internet via a phone at slow speed.
Here in this article, we have listed a few ways by which you can keep a check on usage of your data on your Android phone. Meanwhile, you can also check out the recharge plans offered by you network operator.
How to set data spending limit on your Android phone
- Go to Settings, search for Network/ SIM/ Internet. You can also type Data or Data Saver in the Settings menu to quickly to the desired sub-menu.
- Tap the Settings icon next to the service provider’s name under Internet.
- Scroll down and select Data warning & limit.
- Tap on Mobile data usage cycle, and you will be able to set the duration of your data use cycle.
- Tap on the Set data limit option to enter the data limit.
In some phones, from brands such as OnePlus, you can directly access the network settings without having to search for the icon. Go to Data Usage > Billing Cycle and follow the above mentioned steps to set the data limit.
