Data Burn on Iphone 6

pagra

I purchased an iPhone 6 from Verizon when I renewed my contract for two years. I have never burned through this much data in my  history as a cell phone user.  I usually use under 2 GB but my last two billing cycles I've had to purchase extra data. I'm almost through 3 GB of data and I am a week away from the end of my billing cycle.

I called Verizon support and they gave me a list of things to do to restrict the use of data, all or most of which I implemented. But I have had to resort

to shut ting down my cellular data feature in order to not to go into a 4th GB. This is total nonsense.   I did not sign up for another two-year contract so that I could be billed an extra $30 a month.

Does anybody else have this problem and if so what did you do about it?

There have been a ton of threads on this and all over the Internet. The reasonings seem to vary but a true solution doesn't seem to exist outside of really monitoring your usage and doing the suggested "fixes" to limit use. Those that upgraded from a non-4G device tend to really be shocked by the data use increase. You can do a search on here to see if any of the threads offer suggestions you haven't tried yet. I really wish I knew what to tell you would work but since I don't have a tiered data plan I don't really monitor my usage. Anything I suggest would be from reading the responses on previous threads.
