Realme: Set a Monthly Mobile Data Warning

If your mobile data keeps running out before the billing cycle ends, a monthly data warning can help you catch it early. Realme only lets you configure one alert threshold, and it only fires once the mobile data limit itself is switched on. Without enabling the limit, the alert stays silent even if you enter a value for it.

Set Monthly Data Warning auf Realme

Realme phones only support one data alert per SIM, and it depends entirely on the mobile data limit being switched on. If that limit stays disabled, the alert setting has no effect no matter which value you enter.

This trips people up because Set monthly data alerts and the actual limit are two separate toggles inside the same menu. Many set the alert value first, then wonder why no notification ever appears - the limit itself was never turned on.

Where to find it

Open SettingsSIM card & mobile dataData usageMobile data limit. Turn on Set monthly data alerts, then tap Data alerts to enter your threshold. Confirm with Save.

The alert triggers as a notification once tracked usage crosses that number, based on the billing cycle you set under data usage. It does not block or slow your connection - for that you need a proper mobile data limit with auto-disable, not just the alert.

If the notification arrives late or not at all, check that background restrictions or battery optimization are not affecting the settings app, since that can delay the alert from firing on time.

Frequently asked questions

The value alone does nothing until Set monthly data alerts is switched on inside Mobile data limit. Setting a number without enabling the toggle leaves the alert inactive.
