Data usage

I have had my account for over a year and have never been close to my data usage.  All of the sudden I am at nearly 6 GB of usage 8 days after my normal billing cycle?  How is that possible?

You may have an app that's running in the background. Do you turn your phone off daily? Or did you download a new app recently? Try going into settings then data usage or mobile data. You should see your data usage there and the apps that make up that usage.

I've seen this question come up often. One thing I always suggest to friends is to make sure apps are not set to auto update... or auto update on Wi-Fi only.
