Hello all,
I recently switched to a 250MB data plan in an effort to save money using one of Verizon's currently available promotional plans. I'm saving a total of $360/year, so by the time my upgrade eligibility rolls around, the savings will pay for the new device!
Since I'm on such a small data allowance now, I've started paying close attention to how much data I use. I normally never go over 300MB/month, so it was not an issue on my old plan but I'm keeping an eye on it now to keep it under 250MB/month.
I've installed a jailbreak that monitors my data usage locally (UL & DL) and displays it in the notification center. Since I've had it over the last few days, I have made a point of not using any cellular data but even still I've managed to rack up about 9MB down and 3MB up.
Are there apps that force cellular data to be used even when I'm on WiFi or are there apps that sync a lot in the background and end up using a good bit of cellular data?
Any help is appreciated. I'd like to to figure out what's going on so I can rein in the errant apps or better control the data usage.
Thanks in advance,
steiney
