Will using the app use data on my mobile phone plan? null

Yes, you will use data with the app because you are either reviewing recorded footage from the Website of the company or you are streaming live data from the camera (if you are in "Live" mode). Honestly, though, if all you are doing is looking when you've received a notification of motion, you're not going to use much data at all. I usually check in on the camera four or five times a day, and I am seeing only a little bump in my average data usage since I installed the camera. Now, if you were to keep the app open and run in Live mode for hours at a time, you would definitely chew up data, but that would be an unusual use of the camera in some extraordinary situation.

YES IT DOES USE DATA FROM YOUR PHONE PLAN WHEN NOT CONNECTED TO WI-FI

Yes it will.Try to get unlimited

Unless you are connected wifi anything you do on your phone besides text and phone calls runs data.

Yes, IF you have a monthly limit it will deduct from your allowed gigabytes/megabytes everytime you use your phone, just like when viewing videos...

I think it does and it may be because I check it everytime there is an alert, but it usually shows it at the top of consumption list.

Pretty sure it does. It's like any video streaming app, it will count towards your data provided by your phone carrier.

Yes! Mine uses a lot of data when I check on the video display. About 1.25GB were used in half a month.
