Turning off default mobile data prevents your phone from automatically using your mobile data plan when Wi-Fi is unavailable. Here's how to do it:
Android:
- Open Settings: Find the settings app on your phone, usually represented by a gear icon.
- Navigate to Network & Internet: Look for the network settings, often under a section labeled "Connections" or "Network & Internet."
- Find Mobile Data: Within the network settings, locate the "Mobile Data" option.
- Toggle Mobile Data Off: You'll find a slider or button to turn mobile data on or off. Toggle it to the off position.
iOS (iPhone):
- Open Settings: Tap the settings icon on your home screen.
- Go to Cellular: Scroll down to find the "Cellular" option.
- Turn Cellular Data Off: You'll see a toggle switch for "Cellular Data." Turn it off.
Note: Turning off mobile data will prevent your phone from using your data plan. This means you won't be able to access the internet, make calls, or send messages unless you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Remember: You can always turn mobile data back on by following the same steps and toggling the switch to the on position.
