Data usage

Why is it showing that I’m using mobile data when I’m connected to my home WiFi or xfinity hotspots?

Hello, @user_10da51Welcome to the Xfinity Forum and thank you for posting your question here. To confirm are you using an Xfinity Mobile device?

@XfinityAlisha yes, I am using an xfinity iPhone. When I’m connected to my home WiFi and only watch YouTube, text and make calls.. (no downloading or uploading content)it shows that I’m using some cellular data. I’m confused.

@user_10da51 Understood! So the data usage could very well be when the phone is not connected to any wifi networks. Are there times when that's possible?

The support team will tell you to shut off your mobile data when on wifi.  So every time you connect to your wifi, you will have to remember to shut off your mobile data.  That's how Xfinity mobile works.  I know this because I have spoken to the support team and that is what they told me.

I have the same issue and was told the same thing. The data usage on one of my lines spiked 4.96GB in one day when we were connected to WiFi all day. Doesn't make sense, and the amount of data used per the phone is 2 GB less than what xfinity mobile is reading.
