| | Posted: | | | | If you think about it, a bar scanner uses a search engine, working similarly to any other. You scan the code and the code is searched to find and display the product. That is the amount of data that will be used.
While using the cellular connection and not wi-fi one, you can go to Settings -> Cellular and scroll down until you see "Cellular Data Usage." Make a note of "Current Period" or reset your statistics (foud at the bottom), do only one scan, and go back to see how much the number has changed. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.
