and how do you resolve?

Your cup runneth over

Mobile data is full or you’ve used up your allotment? If the latter, it likely means one of your kids is on your plan.

You can resolve this in several ways:
Kick the kid off your plan.
Get a bigger plan.
Some carriers allow you to do a onetime data purchase. In other words, buy another gigabyte for this month only without increasing the plan size.

There are circumstances in which your phone is active in the background trying to send mail or otherwise connect, and this may be charged against your monthly data allotment. In an iPhone you can go to Settings/Cellular/Cellular Data and it will tell you what apps have been using up data.
As I check mine right now, I see I have my Personal Hotspot on and it's been using 65 GB of data. Going to shut that off, it's about half of all data usage!

I thought that meant your memory of your device was full.

Sounds like you have a data limit on your cell plan and you have met that.

Yes, an ambiguous question.

If you were drinking coffee, your cup would look like this:

If you were at a coffee shop, you'd walk up to the counter and do this:

I have Verizon and they have an app. If I were out of data, I could click a link in their app and have more data in a minute or two. Other options would calling the service provider or driving to nearest store for your provider.

iPhones by default have iCloud photos activated, and åpple gives you 5GB of iCloud storage for free. If you go over that you will get notices. You can deactivate iCloud photos (and other iCloud app storage) and use only the onboard memory on the phone, or pay for more iCloud storage.
