Data sim
Got the data sim 2gb. Have used for waize in car for past 4 months and have always got more than 1gb left but this month I have used the full 2gb which we can't work out how we have used it all up when not doing anything differently

HelenaR_3652211Is the sim directly in the car? Does it also provide data for any other software updates in the vehicle itself? For example, my vehicle has a data sim and recently there was a major vehicle software update - it was a big one!

It's one of the Chinese stereos fitted to car and the sim went into the adapter that came with it so maybe it did an update without me knowing as checking usage It was high on certain days that we were lucky if we drove 5 miles

HelenaR_3652211 It does sound like you may have the answer then. Best thing is simply to keep an eye on it for the next couple of months.
Another option.....buy a bigger data plan for your phone (if necessary) and then use Waze on that in a holder inside the car.
Also, you weren't listening to music streaming on that radio (Spotify, Amazon Music etc), were you? If it is an option, that will eat more data.
