Data Usage

Anonymous
Not applicable

Every month on my iPhone I seem to exceed my data allowance, I have just checked the data usage and for some reason everyday at midnight there is a large usage? I am normally asleep by then, anyone ever had this?

Apps on your phone access data constantly. You shouldn't have a smartphone without a data plan really.

Either have a data plan or turn off mobile data & use wifi where possible

As per my previous post in the thread, it will be apps updating & running all the time even if you aren't using them. Turn off mobile data & use wifi where possible

Thanks for that, I think I will change my plan and get some data allowance.

Please excuse my ignorance but if I connect to my wifi at home, will this be free?  Or will O2 still charge me for something?

Exactly this is happening to me as well, since I've upgraded to Lumia 820 my data usage just went so high over the roof !
I have only 2 mailboxes + facebook setup and most of the day phone uses WIfi at home, the o2 chap suggested to swich off mobile data while in wifi range and i argued that as this is not the reason why i bought a smartphone to go around and look if I'm within WiFi range, however i did started to switch off mobile data while at home just to find out that when i go out and switch data back on, this got registered as >100mb + of data usage in that minute even when the phone was on wifi with data off since last afternoon !!!!
I have now argued that with o2 and hoping to resolve the issue.

 

I should add that i had previously an nokia X6 with the same mailboxes and facebook setup  and i was not even getting 400MB+ of usage out of my 1gb allowance.

 

there is clearly something wrong!

Apps are always running & updating on a smartphone, even at night when you are asleep
