To set mobile data limit, select the Set cellular data limit toggle.

Note: When the mobile data limit is active and has been reached, the mobile data block will remain in effect until mobile data is manually re-enabled on the device, the limit threshold is changed to a higher value, or a new data usage cycle begins. If you set data usage limits on your device, they do not communicate with AT&T systems. You will still receive AT&T system generated notifications as you approach your data limits.
To restrict apps from using data while running in the background, select Settings > Data usage > Cellular data usage > Select Desired app > Select the Unrestrict app background data toggle.
Note: Your myAT&T account is also another way to manage your wireless usage.
