I've had my Ultra for just a week and I've already built up 245MG in data and I don't know how I did it. Most everything I do is done at my home with wireless turned on. I have two questions:
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Correct Answer
What phone are you using?
You should go into the Play Store Settings and set it to only allow downloads when connected to WiFi and it will not use your data. Downloads from The Play Store are counted against Data if NOT through Wifi.
You should also go into your phone and disable ALL of the bloatware apps on the phone so they do not try to update or use data. This includes Verizon Apps such as Verizon Cloud, VA Navigator etc.... Turn the rest to update or use data only when connected to WiFi.

Thank you, Jakeman. I'm in the process of doing exactly what you said; however, I did have a hard time actually finding where to disable apps I don't want. My next concern is disabling apps that I may not know I need. 😞
Again, thank you!
To disable apps go to Settings>Apps>All and find the ones you want to disable. If the Disable button is greyed out or not present you need to uninstall the Updates for the app and then disable it.
Post a list here of which ones you want to disable and we can tell you if you need them or not.
You will want to disable apps like these (if you do NOT use them)
