Hey Kelly! Oh Wow!!!! All activities on Cellular? Cool!!!! That makes me feel good that T-Mobile won't put out a surprise shocks on me with their services.... They are known to be pretty good though. I use wifi at home and I have one of those XPhinity things where if my iPhone sees an wifi with XPhinity thing, it just goes in it. A lot of restaurants and public places have it. Which is greatest thing. I only check my emails, listen to Tune in, search couple stuff in Saffari, watch some YouTube videos here and there and that's about it. I am busy most of my day, so don't have much time to have fun with my iPhone, so I guess that saves a little. I always close all apps from app switcher when I don't use it, although, I don't think that helps any data, does it? I think it's more of a battery saver. I don't mean, to start a thread about battery and app switcher, but just wondering if that even helps to save data at all. Thanks!
