Mobile data on your Samsung phone is the internet connection you use when you're not connected to Wi-Fi. It allows you to browse the web, stream videos, use social media, and do other things online, even when you're not at home or in a place with Wi-Fi.
Here's how it works:
- Cellular network: Your Samsung phone connects to a cellular network, which is a network of cell towers operated by a mobile carrier like Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
- Data plan: You pay your carrier for a data plan, which allows you to use a certain amount of data each month.
- Data usage: When you use mobile data, your phone sends and receives information over the cellular network. This uses up your data allowance.
You can monitor your data usage in your phone's settings. If you're worried about going over your data limit, you can use Wi-Fi whenever possible or consider upgrading to a larger data plan.
