Large data usage

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi.

I have a 500mb data limit on my I-phone (3GS) so am careful about my usage when not at home using my WiFi connection. For some reason this month I have used a huge chunk of this (only have 60mb or so left) but have not downloaded or watched streaming stuff.

One particularly big chunk was on 1st October (when I was at home with WiFi) which was 284mb!

The only big download I did this month was the IOS6 upgrade but again, I was at home for that so am at a bit of a loss as to where all this data is going!!

Any ideas?

Thanks slight_smile

Many users are reporting similar issues (see the iPhone section). You need to report it to O2 (call 202) and hopefully they will investigate. It seems it is an issue with iOS6.
