Finding a healthy balance with our screen time is increasingly vital for our mental well-being, especially as highlighted during Mental Health Awareness Week in May. While our smartphones offer incredible connectivity, excessive use can contribute to stress and anxiety.

At iD Mobile, we understand this delicate balance and importance of having an intentional relationship with technology.     Our flexible plans and data management tools are designed to empower you to take control. Some of the ways you can make use of this are:

• Choose a plan that fits your lifestyle (and screen time goals): With iD Mobile's Pay As You Go plans, you're not stuck with a set amount of data. You can choose a different bundle every month, so if you want to cut back on your online time, you can enforce this by picking a smaller data package.
• See exactly where your data is going: The iD Mobile app shows you how much data you're using and which apps are using the most. This helps you understand where your online time is spent, especially on things that eat up a lot of data like videos and social media.
• Get alerts when you're using too much: You can set up warnings in the iD Mobile app to tell you when you're getting close to your data limit. This can be a helpful nudge to think about whether you really need to keep scrolling!
• Set a limit on your spending: You can put a cap on how much you spend on your iD Mobile bill. Knowing there's a financial limit can make you think twice about using a lot of data on things that increase your screen time, like going down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos!

Finally, if you're struggling with your mental health, we offer 20% off your first month of online therapy with BetterHelp, through our iD Perks platform.
