This has only started recently, less than a week. My battery is just getting its ass kicked.

My day to day is work, on WiFi, always full barrs Sunday - Sunday. I stopped spectrum mobile from gps location yada yada but it doesn’t do anything or help.

    This is for US-specific carriers. As much as we’d love to have such low cost data, that’s just not a reality here.

      My plan is exclusive to carrier’s data only SIMs, the SIM card has a phone number but cannot receive calls. I don’t think I can call even emergency services. Using a 2nd SIM with no plan to receive calls and the outgoing calls are always over WhatsApp. The point is if you look for data only SIMs you may find cheaper plans.

        US carriers are wise to that already. The biggest cost with US carriers is data - one can get a really cheap no-data plan with texting and calling for next to nothing, but a data-only SIM will still be like $20/mo at the minimum.

        Is it unfair? Absolutely. Unfortunately we in the US always get the shaft because corporations have much more power than the people.
