How to check data usage & data left on your Omerta phone

Mobile data allows you to gain wireless access to the Internet when you are not connected to Wi-Fi. Your mobile data allowance will depend on the contract that you have with your network provider and you may be charged if you go over your allowance. If you are consistently running out of data or are looking to increase your data allowance, you will need to contact your network provider.

Omerta provides you with plenty of tools to help you manage your mobile data, set data limits and control which apps are allowed to use your allowance.
