Howho,

Have you tried monitoring your data usage by app on the phone?

If you go to Settings...Cellular, and scroll down the page, you will see a list of all your apps. The ones that have used cell data indicate how much they have used (74.2 KB, 1.5 MB, etc). You can turn off cell data for any apps you want to use only with wifi.

System Services, near the bottom of the list, will tell you what iphone processes (other than apps) used data.

At the bottom of the screen is a Reset Statistics option. You can reset this at any time to track data usage from that point on.

You may also want to log into your Verizon account online and see list of when and how much data was used. This might tell you how/when your high amounts of data were used.

Hope this helps
