Nice of you to pass on the tip.
I will add one of my own.
I have data alert on the account set to alert me at 65% If I get the alert early in the month, I can see which kid is the data hog.
I then warn offending data hog to lighten up cellular useage.
This is strike one.
I check data use in a couple of days, if the kid has not cut back, I issue a second warning, including the threat of suspending cellular data.
Strike two
If I check the third time and don't see a drop in his use I turn off the cellular data to his phone. It can be turned back on with a call to customer service.
Strike 3 and OUT.
I have only had to do this once. It tends to be taken very seriously .
