    Cellular data is used for data

    communication in cellular

    networks. It does not affect your

    ability to make or receive phone

    calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for

    Internet connectivity. If you turn

    off cellular data, you will be unable

    to:

    See the cellular data icons in the

    status bar (for example, LTE or

    3G ).

    Send or receive MMS messages.

    However, you can still send and

    receive SMS and iMessages if you're

    connected to a Wi-Fi network.

    Retrieve or listen to new Visual

    Voicemail messages. To retrieve

    these messages, enable Cellular

    Data.

    Use Personal Hotspot.

    You can adjust this setting by going

    to:

    iPhone: Settings > General >

    Cellular

    iPad: Settings > Cellular

    It is the amount of data you use on your 3G/4G, aka cellular usage.

    Sending is like emailing someone or texting. You are sending data.

    Receiving is anything from checking your email to watching YouTube. Even browsing the web. You are receiving data.
