Good day!

I was wondering if anyone could make the light on my issue.

I am tethering the internet with Hotsport on my BlackBerry to an iPhone.

When I look at the data being used (with hotspot) within 30 seconds, I'm at 10MB without having done anything and only being on the first screen of the iphone (where it shows apps).

The iPhone is not updating, and the automatic updates is off also.

I am concern since the data plan is limited on the BB and have to be careful but the iPhone seems to drain the data off the BB without doing anything.

Is there anything I could do, or somewhere I could look to see where the data is going? A colleague is doing the same thing with a Android and it is not even passing the 1MB after the same amount of time.

Thanks for all the help!

I disabled icloud synching completely and the backup, that seems to have fixed it 288 KB on 5 minutes.
Now, I have to find a place where I could see the data usage when on the wifi (hotspot from BlackBerry). I know you can see it when using the "cellular" but my iPhone doesn't have a sim card in it. This particular phone is used as an "iPod".
