Mobile Data Usage - Billing Cycles

EtheB — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 02:05:15 GMT

Is it possible to configure mobile data usage to a number of days vs months as a billing cycle?

At present I have only been able to set a fixed monthly date, however some providers work on a 28 day cycle which can make keeping track of data usage difficult unless I continually reset the date every billing "month".

Is this a limitation of Android or the Sony software?

I think it's an Android limitation, it has been only monthly since Lollipop. But I'm pretty sure there are many apps on the Google Play store that can do this trick for you. Check this one, I see it has a good rating.

So it seems. Which is a bit odd considering all the features Android has been incorporating.

Thanks for the idea.

Perhaps Google will look at improving the flexibility of the cycles settings in a future update...
