    How can I make sure I'm connected to Wi-Fi?

    Community Answer
    You won't use any of your cellular data while you're connected to Wi-Fi, so it's always a good idea to try to be on a wireless network. You can see if you're currently connected by looking for the Wi-Fi signal bars at the top of your iPhone's screen. If you're connected to your mobile data network, you'll see your carrier and signal strength instead.

    On Android devices, open the Settings app and select "Data usage." Scroll down to see a list of apps that use mobile data, and how much they use. On an iPhone, open the Settings app and select "Cellular." Scroll down to see an alphabetical list of apps that use cellular data. The amount of data that an app uses will be displayed below the name of the app.

    Can I look at my bill and tell which numbers I have sent picture messages to?

    Not by looking at your bill, but you can by going online and looking at your account. Under the "I want to" menu, go to "View Usage." You'll see the number of texts made/received so far in the current billing cycle (you can also view history from other months if you like). Click on the number of texts and it takes you to the dates/times/numbers of texts made and received. Ones labeled "MMS" are multimedia messages - messages containing pictures or videos.
