My Data Manager is an app that users can utilize to monitor their data usage on their College cell phones. It does not monitor the data itself, just the amount used. This tool will assist you in making sure that you do not exceed your monthly data allotment.

Setting Up Your iPhone

1. You will receive a prompt to install My Data Manager from the App Store and you may be required to enter you Apple ID and password depending on your App Store settings. Tap on GET and the download will begin. Alternatively, you can just search for My Data Manager in the App Store and download it. Once the download is complete, tap OPEN to begin the configuration.

2. Once you have read the terms of service, tap the square to agree and then tap Set Mobile Plan button to enter the details.

3. The settings for the first page are: Plan Type = recurring, Data Renewal Period = monthly, Data Limit = 1 GB. Ensure GB has the blue box and tiny arrow, not MB.

4. Tap Done, then Next.

5. On the calendar, select the 7 as the renewal date. It’s not easy to find out how much data has been used already this month so tap on Do later at the bottom and this app will be accurate beginning on Sept 7.

6. There are alarms created by default to let you know when you’ve reached 90% of your plan, when you reached 100% and it will even let you know if you’ve used a lot of data on any given day that puts you at risk for the month.

7. After you tap close, you will have the option for a survey. Tap No, Thanks. You will also be asked to allow notifications. You need to hit OK so you actually get the warnings/notifications about your usage. You will then be prompted to allow the app to access your location. I suggest Don’t Allow but either is fine.
