📊 Keep your data in check & Avoid unwanted Consumption

Legend ... wait for it ... dary data management!

We’ve got you covered! Monitoring your usage helps you spot data-hungry apps or settings, optimise your plan, and avoid overages. Here’s how to keep your data in check and make every MB count!

⚠️ Important: you’re in control of your data

Kolet has no technical way to see, measure or control how much data your device uses. We can’t track your usage app by app, and we can’t slow it down or stop it for you. Your consumption depends entirely on your phone’s settings and the apps you use. That’s why it’s essential to check regularly where your data goes, so you don’t get caught out by an unexpected overage. The safest reference for your remaining balance is always the Kolet app.

👀 Check your data usage in the app

The Kolet app provides a quick and clear overview of your remaining data balance, so you always know how much is left.

📌 How to Check Your Data in the App

1️⃣ Open the Kolet app.

2️⃣ Navigate to the Home screen.

3️⃣ Find your remaining data balance under your active data plans.

This allows you to stay in control of your usage at all times!

⚠️ Note: There may be a slight delay before your data consumption appears in the app, as usage is only displayed once a certain threshold is reached.

📱 Check data usage on your device

Here’s a quick guide for iPhone, Samsung, and Google Pixel users, plus a few handy tips to help limit your data usage!

⚠️ Good to know: the data figure your phone displays is only an estimate. Many devices, and Google Pixel in particular, count usage against a billing cycle and a start date set by default by the phone, not by Kolet. So this number can reset, start from the wrong date, or simply not match your real Kolet consumption. Use your phone’s breakdown to spot which apps use the most data, but always rely on the Kolet app for your actual remaining balance.

🍎 For Apple iOS devices

Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data), then scroll down to the list of apps to see how much data each one has used (highest usage first).

🤖 For Samsung Android devices

Go to Settings > Connections > Data usage, then scroll down to see which apps are using the most data.

💡 Tip: Samsung lets you set data warnings and limits to help manage data and avoid unexpected charges.

👾 For Google Pixel devices

Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > your Kolet eSIM > App data usage, then scroll down to see which apps are using the most data.

💡 Tip: Pixel lets you set data warnings and limits to help manage data and avoid unexpected charges. Remember the on-device figure is an estimate, so cross-check with the Kolet app.

🔴 For Redmi Android devices

Go to Settings > More connectivity options > Data usage, then scroll down to see which apps are using the most data.

1️⃣ Disable Wi-Fi Assist

Many smartphones automatically switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data when they detect a weak Wi-Fi connection. This feature is designed to keep your internet stable, but it can unexpectedly consume large amounts of mobile data without you realizing it.

For example, if you’re connected to weak or slow Wi-Fi, your phone might seamlessly switch to cellular data even if you think you’re only using Wi-Fi. This can lead to unintended data usage, especially if you’re streaming videos, downloading files, or using high-data apps.

📌 Why Should You Disable It?

✅ Prevents unwanted mobile data consumption when Wi-Fi is unstable.

✅ Ensures your phone stays on Wi-Fi, even if the connection weakens.

✅ Gives you full control over when your phone uses mobile data.
