Rapid use of data

I topped up with a £10.00 bundle which gives me 500mb of data I have received a text saying that my allowance has been used up within 24 hrs. How can this be as I haven't used my phone with any data service other than when connected to the home wi-fi?

Reset your data counter now and check it again in 24 hours to see if the issue has gone.

Thanks. All done I will let you know. Do I need to turn off mobile data?

Some people prefer to turn it off when not in use and to be honest is a good idea if you are on a limited data allowance.
It certainly stops anything using data when not connected to a WiFi hotspot.

With your limited data allowance I would definitely turn off mobile data when you are home or on wifi.  Maybe you need to think about upping your tariff?
