Aside from texting and maybe the odd call, all the fun things you can do on your smartphone require data.
This includes email, web browsing, downloading and running apps, accessing social media, and streaming music and video. What's not fun, however, is a huge bill at the end of the month.

To ensure you don't go over your monthly data allowance, take heed to these following tips and tricks.

Try to save the activities that eat up a lot of data — like streaming video -- for when you're in a wireless network at home, a cafe, airport lounge or hotel lobby. To make sure you're using Wi-Fi, temporarily turn off cellular data (in Options or Settings).

Be sure to properly close apps when you're not using them as they still might be running in the background and thus, possibly using up data. Doing this will also extend your battery life. On the iPhone, double-tap the Home button to see what's still open (at the bottom of the screen).
