Samsung: Change the Mobile Data Warning Limit

If your mobile plan comes with a fixed data allowance, going past it without noticing usually means extra charges or a throttled connection. Samsung's data warning is meant to flag that moment, but the default threshold rarely matches your actual plan. Unlike the data limit, this feature only sends a notification and leaves your connection running.

Change Data Warning Limit auf Samsung

The data warning on Samsung phones sends a notification once your mobile data usage crosses a value you set yourself. It does not cut off your connection, which makes it different from the data limit that shuts mobile data off automatically once reached.

The default warning value is usually a rough estimate and often does not match the allowance in your actual mobile plan. If you keep it unchanged, you either get warned too early, while data is still plentiful, or too late, right before your plan runs out.

To adjust it, go to Tap on SettingsTap on ConnectionsTap on Data usageTap on Billing cycle and data warningTap on Data warningSet the Data warning limit and tap Set.

Set the value a few hundred MB below your actual monthly allowance so the notification still gives you time to react. If you want mobile data to switch off completely once a threshold is hit, use the data limit setting instead, since the warning alone will not stop usage.

Frequently asked questions

You get a notification telling you that usage has crossed the value set under Data warning. Mobile data keeps working normally afterward.
