Use less plan data
Join a Wi-Fi network whenever you can
Connecting devices to Wi-Fi® networks is a great way to use less wireless data. If there aren’t any Wi-Fi networks available, your device automatically switches back to wireless data.
Heads up: Some apps on your device use wireless data even when connected to a Wi-Fi network.
You can learn more with our device tutorials on how to:Take control with Stream Saver
Use Stream Saver2 on compatible plans to use less data while streaming video. It detects video content and then streams it at standard-definition quality, like a DVD (about 480p).
