Data usage on iPhone 4s AT&T?

I'm on Wi-Fi everywhere I go. College, at home, friends house etc. It shows Wi-Fi bars. And my mom is telling me I've already used over 85% of my monthly data. My question is how is that possible if I'm on Wi-Fi everywhere? What is considered "data usage"? To my knowledge I thought it was getting on the Internet/game apps when NOT on Wi-Fi? Can someone please explain this to me?

I know exactly what you mean! I have to pay for it aswell for my 4s:/

  • What counts as data usage on the iPhone 4S? So basically, I just want to know what counts as data usage. & also, if you have unlimited Internet, does safari still count as data usage?

  • Unknown data usage on iPhone 4S? My family and I all have smartphones (all iPhones except one) and on our phone bill, it says that we're already at 6.7 GB, in 15 days… Looking further into it, I noticed that on each phone, data was being used every hour. Like anywhere between 1 and 19, 000 KB being used exactly every hour. Like 3 KB at 1:49, 15 KB at 2:49, 7 KB at 3:49 in the morning. KB's aren't a lot, but when you have 6 devices using KB's every hour, it really adds up.
  • Under settings on my iPhone, does the data usage include Wi-Fi usage? Because its stating a ridiculous amount and I've had my data off… And my Wi-Fi on. Does the total of data include the amount of Internet I'm using when on Wi-Fi? I'm so confused
