[Mr. Douglas]

I’m in the sticks. I have a 40 gig AT&T cellpone plan. One month something went weird and I used up almost all of it in just a few days. But I still had no overages because I shut down all devices except when I actually NEEDED to use data. I actually came in 1 gig under that month. But here’s what I did, and some background:

I have two phones and a Myfi liberate hotspot. the hotspot is our main data user for our desktop and laptops at home. Our nearest neighbor is 500 yards away, so that’s not an issue. The Myfi is usb connected to my laptop.

Here is what I did:

Turn off data on the Myfi.
Set Myfi usb option to “charge only”.
Turn off data on the phones.
Check myatt.com to closely monitor data usage.
When my wife needs wifi at home, she turns on the data on the Myfi, and turns it off when she’s done.

This did it for us. We also learned how easy it is to closely monitor data usage.

Will do.
