    This

    Double click and close all the shit you have open. Do the same on your wife's phone and make sure to use wifi when at work or home.

    No need when the Badass Ford has a bluetooth phone built in with the Sync System.

    settings > cellular > turn off cellular data or choose the apps you want to pull cellular data for. Unless you have wifi available you will not be getting email, using some apps, etc.

    Data usage from your provider and storage/memory on your phone are two different things. Taking pictures doesn't use your data up, sending pictures does though.

    Apple downloaded some feature a month or so back so that the phone will use whatever is best, transmittal wise, for your data. If the phone data is better, it drops the WIFI. You have to cut this feature off so that it will keep using wifi when available. There went your data usage. Carrier does not matter,
    It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.

    Sprint sucks donkey balls, been pulling my hair out since we got it almost 2yrs ago. still haven't figured their system out yet. their service causes roaming charges everywhere you go unless you know how to fix that in your settings ( I don't ).
    cut the mobile data off when you don't need it would be the best advice I could give.

    Seriously, 1GB is pretty light. Shop a 5GB family plan through all four major providers. You might end up paying less and you can keep acting all cool by not using your phone whilst your family streams blissfully.

    This is the answer and anything that streams like pandora or videos etc. I went to school on this shit with 2 teenage daughters. Connect to wifi at work and home and then phone should automatically do it when you go there in the future.

    Y'all stop tryin' to help him. He'd rather be miserable. It's evident by the fact he's a sprint customer.
