Ask Deemable Tech: Why Am I Using So Much Data?

Update: 2015-05-21

Description

Donna writes, "I share a data plan with my family. I'm the biggest user of data, but I'm also the least tech savvy. I do very little downloading! I mostly just check emails. If someone sends me a link and I open it, am I downloading? Sometimes I use my iPhone as a hotspot for my laptop. Is that downloading? Why am I using so much data?" Any time your phone gets information over the Internet, Donna, that counts against your data plan. This includes reading an email, opening a link from that email
