How do i know that data is running low, so far my WAZE app just stops working and leaving me without further directions on driving to a destination.

You can check your data useage via the MySly app.

When I am driving a distance using WAZE I don't expect to have to interrogate sky apps to see my data useage, I prefer to keep my eyes on the road and glancing at my phone using WAZE information . I would expect to see a comment come on from sky that data is too low to continue with your navigation.

Hi @Peter94  you should receive a notification but it won't stay on your screen for long. I would check before setting off if it's that important and top up with plenty of data before leaving, then you wouldn't have to worry

@Peter94 You should be able to set up a low data warning via your phone,

If you're on an Android device:

1. Open your phone's Settings app.
2. Tap Network & internet. Internet.
3. Next to your carrier, tap Settings .
4. Tap Data warning & limit.
5. If it's not already on, turn on Set data limit. Read the on-screen message and tap Ok.
6. Tap Data limit.
7. Enter a number. ...
8. Tap Set.

Im not sure if there is an equivalent setting on iOS as i don't use it.

I don't know if my apple IPhone as supplied by sky is android or iOS but anyway I've gone into settings but your list isn't apparent on my screen, but I have gone to sky notifications and selected "announce Notifications " to ON.  Maybe that will help me.

and I've just asked sky chat line if my iPhone is android or iOS, it didn't understand the question. So I'm afraid their chat is not helpful again.

To @63johnw's previous point, you should receive an SMS from Sky when you've consumed 80% and then 100% of your monthly data allowance.

I have not been receiving messages from sky ref my data at any stage, when I go to "my sky" that information is not there, all I keep getting is the chat which is annoyingly a waste of time.

so in a nut shell I find that sky is telling me nothing worth knowing about my sky mobile.
