Seriously-data usage?

DataPro 2 GB
1363.34 of 2048 used

Oops sorry, I got the wording wrong on my first post--this is what the ATT page says. And I have 23 days left in my billing cycle. This is the highest plan you can get right? Ive seen most of you mention you dont even get close with the 200 plan

That's a LOT of usage... especially in that short amount of time.  I have corporate email on mine and that's syncing constantly... along with the web surfing and other data apps I use and I'm still only at 665Meg on day 30 of my billing cycle.   Granted, I do use WiFi as much as I possibly can... so even doubling that amount doesn't get me to that type of usage, and that's over an entire month.

You may want to install something like 3G Watchdog to track your daily usage of data.  If you're really pulling down a couple hundred meg a day, then there's something really amiss that needs to be tracked down.

What's your typical day of cell use?  In other words, are you surfing constantly, streaming videos or songs, etc.?

I dont do any music bc I was afraid it would use to much data so I figured I would wait my first month and see how much I used. I generally check my email 10-12 times a day (my hubby is deployed so I check to see if he writes) I also browse through facebook, but nothing like hours upon hours a day. Thats typically all I do. I do play Jewels or other games throughout the day, but maybe for 15 minute spurts or so. I dont do any video streaming... I do open my email on the browser instead of the Yahoo mail app bc it actually is accurate that way.

I will get 3g watchdog then. I have uninstalled The Weather Channel and the facebook widget-which I only had on my phone for about 12 hrs--but figured it was probably always updating. In fact, I got rid of all updating widgets for this fear!!

Punisher--yes they are always lit--I CANNOT connect to my wifi here at home and I dont know why.

Okay I just restarted my phone and it is charging. Here is what its doing. 3g symbol on notification bar is lit and the arrows are both lit. I tried connecting to my wifi here at home and after trying to connect it says it is unable. The password is correct.

Just the apps that you have installed recently. One of them is probably the culprit.

Also what you can go to settings-->abotu phone--->battery use

If you're lucky the culprit will be draining battery life too and it'll be easy to tell which app is causing the problem.

Also, these apps are always showing up when I go to my Advanced Task Killer and I dont use them. Can I delete them or will I need them later on at some point?

ATT Hot Spots
ATT Navigator
Instant Messaging


Or could it be this clock widget that I installed?? If it is I mean, the widgets take up so much data, whats the point?

Good idea with the task killer.

I just plugged my phone in after it being dead for about 30 minutes, so Im not sure if thats why display is so high at this point?


Okay, so every time the blue and orange arrows light up, data is going through? Inever knew that. I swear they need to do a class on these or hand out more info!! I never knew that!
