Phone has been activated for no more than 2 hours. Under usage stats it shows 4.0gb of data usage?!

Anyone else seeing this?

I have been on wifi in my house too! The whole time!

I mean I have unlimited data so I don't really care.
 
I find it odd that the Sent & Received stats are exactly the same. Haven't seen that before, IME.
 
I looked at the usage on my CDMA iPhone and I have 4 gigs of received data, also; however, it is apparent that this information is from my backup, as my new phone already has a call life of 3 Days.

Don't worry, mine said the same thing and I know I have not used a fraction of that much data.

Just reset everything.

Dial *3282# and wait for the resulting text message.

The numbers there are what the CARRIER thinks you have used. This is what you should worry about. :)
 
This is a relatively common glitch in iOS.

Not sure what triggers it, but I've seen the usage meter jump up far beyond the data usage since I got an iPhone.

As others have said the other possibility is that you have carried data over from a backup, although if this is your first iPhone that wont be the case.
 
I have found that under my usage stats it often says I've used more data than what my carrier says I've used. Nothing to that extreme however haha :D

The carrier's number is usually out of date by a few hours, so it'll generally be smaller. If you stay on Wifi for about 24 hours, they should match up fairly well.

Like I said I'm not worried. There was no previous backup ive never had an iPhone before. I also thought it could have been tested at the factory and it could be from that but it's unlikely. I reset my usage stats and it is calculating normally at this point. So again no worries it was just strange to see

Its #3282 to get the text or #DATA, not *3282#
