2GB Data Warning (Android)

Modified on Tue, 30 Sep at 4:32 PM

The majority of Android handsets offer a "Data Warning" feature (which will warn you once you have used a certain amount of data) and by default, the "Data Warning" amount is set as 2GB.

If this feature is active, you may receive a notification similar to what's shown below -

For clarification, this feature is not directly related to the data allowance provided by your Mobal service (it is just warning you that you have used this amount of data since the tracker was last reset).

If you are using a Mobal plan that includes a 5GB high speed data allowance for example, you would still receive 5GB of high speed data (it's just that the "Data Warning" feature would notify you when 2GB has been used).

Disabling / Customizing "Data Warning" Feature

On most Android handsets, you can disable this feature (or make changes to this feature) by going to:

Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Billing Cycle and Data Warning

To disable this feature, simply tap on the "Set Data Warning" slider button (or slide the button to the left).

Please also ensure the "Set Data Limit" feature is disabled as this feature would actually block cellular data access entirely after using the specified amount.

If you would like to continue using the data warning feature however, you can tap on the "Start billing cycle on" section to pick a date for the feature to reset. If you are using a Voice+Data SIM / Voice+Data eSIM for example, your high speed data allowance is reset on the 1st of each month.

You can also tap on the "Data Warning" section to change the warning amount (to match up with the data allowance included with your Mobal product).

Additional Note: This is a generic guide for Android handsets and so if these instructions are incorrect, you may need to refer to the manufacturers user guide / support information for your specific device.
