I have heard stories of data being gobbled up with background stuff like apps being refreshed going on.
Would the trick be to turn off data when the phone is not being used specifically for internet use and then turn it back on every so often to check on WhatsApp messages?Thank youI'm going to assume iOS is like Android and you can set that so updates only happen over WiFi. Most modern phones allow you to configure alerts on data usage.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having instant messaging, don't you think?Would the trick be to turn off data when the phone is not being used specifically for internet use and then turn it back on every so often to check on WhatsApp messages?Thank you
You are probably right.It was me suggested turning off the data as that is what we do at the moment and whilst I think it has turned on once it has never caused a problem being off.Other of course that WhatsApp messages don't come in and people don't know what the hell is going on when you don't reply.But I agree that it complicates things and is just one other thing to be thinking of as my wife looks after two sick people in their nineties.It seems that as suggested either Virgin seeing we are with them or else just PAYG or 48.People might be overcomplicating this here. From a cursory perusal of the various sites:
- Virgin Mobile offer unlimited minutes, tests and data for €5 for five months and the €25 per month as an existing customer
- eir offer unlimited minutes, tests and data for €20 per month
- Vodafone offer unlimited minutes, tests and data for €30 per month
Forget this nonsense of turning off data on the phone. Go with one of the above and get on with other things!
I agree, it does defeat the purpose.Kinda defeats the purpose of having instant messaging, don't you think?
Just 'strip' the phone of whatever apps you can and/or don't need and then turn off 'auto update' or as advised by @Leo restrict updates to WiFi only.
