Data Usage...

You might be cutting it close, but if your usage stays the same, you'll be just under the limit.
But you should probably consider using WiFi more, if you can. Not to defend AT&T on this AT ALL, but short of cutting down usage, that's the only practical way to avoid overages right now.

To get a rough estimate of how much you will use if you continue to use in the same way, take your usage, divide by how many days you've been on the current month bill cycle, and multiply by 30 (or maybe 31) to get how much you will use in the whole month of the bill cycle.
Honestly I use my phone alot for everything from email to browsing to youtube...
And the most I've ever used is 650MB in a month..I mean, I probably am browsing about 6-7 hours of every day..
Odd, my useage is over 200MB. It must be the iPhone 4. I had a go-phone for a week and since I have been doing a lot of driving, I haven't really had a chance to play with it. I have not used Pandora. I have only used Youtube over wifi. I have not downloaded any apps over 3G. I have not used the camera with location. I have not used GPS. Very strange since I NEVER broke 200MB with my 3GS in 6 months time.

I had exactly the same thing - iphone 4 reporting nearly 800Mb in 2 days of use. Turned out that for some bizarre reason, when I imported my settings from my old 3G, it brought across the data usage info too, so the figure I had was actually what I had been using on the 3g from it's last reset. I checked this with my carrier whose online usage tracker only showed me using 5Mb over the 2 days.
What are you doing on your iPhone to be able to download over 7GB of stuff????
I have had my iPhone for nearly a full year and I am only at 2.8GB total (never reset it). I surf about 2-4 hours a day, listen to Wolfgang's Vault music, watch YouTube videos, use AIM and Yahoo chat....etc. I can't fathom doing anything on my iphone currently that would get me close to the 2GB limit.
EDIT: Just did the *DATA# 'trick' and I have used 90.3MB this billing cycle....ends July 10.

the usage data in settings>usage is only via 3G/EDGE. Using wifi does not increase the amount of used data shown.
Of course...and doesn't that make it even more amazing that people are smashing the 2GB 'limit'?
Not sure how this even fits into the discussion necessarily. The poster I commented on says he's used over 7GB of data so far this month. And I am assuming this is through non-wifi services or it wouldn't matter now would it?
