iphone 5 eats credit?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

 

Im on pay and go, and have been for years. Have just got an iphone 5, upgraded from a 3gs. I had the 3gs for over 3 years and never went over the 500mb you get when you top up each month. When I changed to the iphone 5 it used all my data up over night and has then since charged me £1 per day and then I get messages saying I have used up all my data for the day and then have to wait until the next day.

 

Had a look on google and saw other people saying about icloud, so I turned this off which seems to have reduced the problem but I am still using way too much, where has 500mb gone in two days even with icloud turned off?

 

Any one else have this problem and is there any way I can see where its all going?

If your willing to shell out £2.99 dataman can track which app uses which data amount.

Just tried it out and it's accurate to .01mb slight_smile

I use that as well and its not a bad app to be honest.

 

I would like Iphone or an app to actually tell me which app is using most data just to keep a look my self.

 

Would be nice to know.

 

I dont think however that there is anything like that at present out there

Well in the hour or so I've been using this dataman I've blown 30mb on apps I didn't even know updated without me using them.

Ouch that will add up.

Suggest it to apple that they buy dataman & turn it into an iOS feature the way Siri started out as an app then apple bought the company then turned it into an actual phone feature, not just an app

That's why the op is asking, how does he find out which ones as he hasn't worked out what apps it is yet
