Vanishing Hughes Net Data Since Using New I-phone

Vanishing Hughes Net Data Since Using New I-phone

I’ve been with Hughes since 2007 and have NEVER had any issues with my data allotment being exhausted or even significantly depleted.  In fact I have often had over 75% of my data left over at the end of a cycle.  I don’t watch many videos and mainly do this during the Bonus time.

Where I live having a cell phone had been problematic and I had a terrible time using it because of poor connection issues. For about a year I had an inexpensive SE I-phone with Verizon as my provider. I didn’t see any Hughes data depletion.  I mainly just had the I-phone for emergencies as needed.

This has now significantly changed with my use of a new I-phone 15 + with ATT as my provider at my house.  This phone is a big improvement over the old one and I am able to do more things with it. I am seeing my data dropping as much as a GB a day and the only thing I am doing on my desk top computer is basic Internet stuff like checking email, looking a Facebook, and other more routine things.  During the day I rarely look at any videos and wait for the Bonus time for that activity. I have always had my Hughes Wi Fi turned off and have even turned it off for this new I-phone.  I don't know for sure if the new I-phone is the culprit in draining my Hughes data but it may be related to it.

Here are some questions I hope folks can answer.  Will this I-phone 15 + drain Hughes data?  Are there any settings other than turning off Wi Fi that I can turn off on the I-Phone to reduce Hughes data usage? I may be blaming the wrong thing for the data depletion but the sudden depletion seems related to the new I-phone!  Thank you for any insights and possible solutions.
