maybe apps running in backround? (updating)

Smartphones will constantly try to connect to data to update widgets such as weather, news feeds etc.
You need to turn off mobile data in your settings to prevent it from happening.

That will be the payg web daily which will charge you £1 each day for Internet access, turn off mobile data & you'll be fine
