    Momentum App Data Usage

    If you wondering where your data has gone and you are with Momentum, look no further! The app is hammering my mobile data each month. Over 500mb per month. Anyone else experiencing this or is just me? I assume its to track your movements for safe days. But geez, seems a little extreme.

    Huawei E5573 - data usage, and optimum settings for Rain

    Do these mifi devices use a lot of data in the background "on standby"? Two weeks ago I set it up with a RAIN SIM and was satisfied with it, to be used as a backup. I even connected to it from my laptop and was surprised when I saw on the RAIN dashboard that I had only used a couple of Rands...

    Home Cloud Solutions - Data Usage

    Well, this is a frustrating one. Ever since I signed up with Home Cloud (almost 2 years ago) they've never offered a straightforward solution to verify how much data I have used and I have remaining for the month.

    Is there anyway to check DAILY usage for Telkom LTE data?

    Good day, I've been trying to figure out how to view DAILY usage for Telkom LTE data. I can see the current data left, but would like to be able to view how much data has been used on certain days. If anyone knows how to do this, or if it is even possible, that would be amazing.

    Vodacom Data Usage Monitor for Mac OS X
