Data limit warnings

Why is there not any options to set data limit warning for each cell phone number?

I came from rogers and they allowed you set a bar limit in your cell phone data usage. 

like I had a warning at 15GB then at 25gb another warning. 

Why doesn’t bell give this option? Instead of relaying on their own determined limit at 95%??

Hi there @Appok90.

Welcome to the Community.

As you've said yourself, we do not offer any option aside from 95% usage. With that said, we appreciate the feedback.

To set your own limits on your phone, you can use the following instructions.

Android:

  1. Open your phone's Settings app.
  2. Tap Network & internet and then SIMs.
  3. Tap Data warning & limit. If needed, first turn on Set data warning.
  4. Tap Data warning.
  5. Enter a number. To switch between megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB), tap the Down arrow .
  6. Tap Set.

Do keep in mind as well that Android is going to default to the 2nd to the 1st (e.g. Jan. 2nd to Feb. 1st). You can change this by following the prior instructions, but going to App data usage instead of Data warning & limit.

iOS at this time does not offer an option to manually set limits or warning for mobile data usage.

I would like to get a warning or stop my dara usage before I go over my allowable data. How can I do that?
