    Question about iPhone DATA! HELP!
    ok so i have a 500MB/mth data plan. last week it was at around 200 - 300 mb. this afternoon i check it and it's at 4.0 GB for each sent and received data. how the fukk can this happen?

    not only that, i just checked again this evening, and it's at 8.0GB sent and received each!! how the fukk is that possible without even watching vids. and i didn't even go on it today for much.

    if it's connected to my comp, does it constantly send and receive data from it? like if i watch a streaming game on my comp and the phone's connected, would that count on my iPhone data download?

    well it might be using your phone as a modem
    either way you better hope rogers waives those charges cuz your bill is gonna be a 2 grand

    8 gigs - 500 mb = 7692 MB over
    @ 25 cents a mb over that = $1923

              there's gotta be some mistake! cause i know since this afternoon when it was at 4GB, i hadn't even hooked it up to my comp, but it STILL said 8GB afterwards.

              not only that, but i haven't even used 4GB of data today on either the phone OR my comp. i only watched 45 streaming minutes of a soccer game earlier, and there's no way that was even close to 4GB.

              what exactly is this 'push notification' thing??

                  If you have an iphone you should have an unlimited data plan. No way you can use everything and stay under 500mb/mo.

                        The only reason i got it in the first place was so I could place wagers when i was out. and i've only used it for that so far twice this month.

                            Oh ok, maybe if you only do that. But streaming movies uses quite a lot of data, also push notification, email, gps, downloading apps, all use data.

                              i think i have push notifications on but for only 1 app. and i have no idea how it would account for a sudden 4.0 GB in a week and another 4.0 GB in less than 3 hours!

                                Yeah im not sure about that, It does seem very high. You may want to go to an Apple store if you can. They might be able to figure out what is using all of that data.

                                    I would go to an Apple store or your cell phone carrier's store and see if they can help you

                                            it was just an easier way to check lines also whenever i'm out. i'm not going to call in each time
