Hi ​@timgilp ,

 

I’m sorry your data ran out so quickly in France. This can happen if apps are using data in the background or if your roaming allowance is limited.

Please check your data usage in Settings and turn off background data for apps. Also use Wi-Fi where possible.

Thankyou. I don’t know how to check data useage historically. Also I don’t know how to turnoff background data for apps. Sorry.

Hi ​@timgilp 

If you let us know the make / model of your phone someone should be able to talk you through how to check / change the relevant settings.

Hi ​@timgilp You can view detailed past data by going to your bills or checking the "Usage" section for previous billing cycles.
