I was thinking about upgrading to this phone but cannot afford to pay for the unlimited data usage plan along with my texting plan.

does anyone out there actually have this & use it? most of what i read is about high data usage on the iphone. am sheerly curious if one can actually own an iphone & do casual surfing, email checks on the 200mb plan. thanks in advance. bub
How bad is the phantom data usage? I’m thinking of switching carriers but before I do, I want to make sure I’m not going to spend an arm and a leg on data. I use around 500mb or so pushing 4 email accounts and about an hr of Pandora per day,but I think my usage will increase since the iphone has way better apps than it’s competitor. Is 2gigs sufficient?

I just got my iphone4 4 days ago, and I have never used a smartphone before. While checking my data usage online, I found that there are very small data usage (7-10 kb) every few minutes throughout the entire day. I tried to turn off 3G, deleted my email account and disabled the location service, and also turned off all applications, but the data usage is still there. While the amount of these usage is trivial and won’t cause a significance problem to the 2GB data limit, I still want to know where it comes from. Does anyone have any idea? Thank you very much!

I have a quick question. What would cause 30835KB of data usage one night 2:34 am and another 34738KB on another night 6:52 am  Thats a whole lot of data, I have been using my phones data ever since I got it, probably more the first few days. So why now are all of the huge amounts of data being used up when I know I am not using it near as much?  Thanks,

If you are worried about the data usage, you can always view you old provider’s latest bill, and see how much data usage you have used. Â My data used for Verizon, 305,082kb is 0.29095gb. Barely 1gb. I work from my phone a lot, You should be fine. Kilobyte Usage kilobytes unlimited 305,082
I have 8 days left in my cycle and it says i’m at 95% of my data usage (195 MB out of 200 MB). Â I rarely use the internet on the phone outside of my house and in my house, I’m always using WiFI (which doesn’t affect data plans). Â Â So my question, is what could be using more data that I think it should? Â Are their “push notification” settings somewhere that I could tweak to prevent so much data being used? Â It says like 20 MB is “sent” and like 170 MB is “received”, so I need to find out what is “receiving” so much data. Â Any input would be appreciated. Â
