High data usage on iPhone 5?

I'm with Telstra, on a $130/month plan, I get 4.5GB of data a month, which I assumed would be plenty, as when I had an iPhone 4 I used roughly 3GB/month. But, I get messages within the first three days of my month saying I've used all of it. I'm not even using it that much, I check social networking sites every few hours, and then exit out of the app (by double clicking the home button and exiting the app completely) I also have LTE turned off, as well as automatic updates. I don't know where my internet is going, because I can't even use 4.5GB on my computer in a few days let alone using that much on my phone. Anyone have the same issue/any ideas?

Added (1). The only apps that use internet that I have are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. And I only use them a few times a day before exiting them completely, I don't sit on the app all day.

Do you have many apps that use the Internet a lot eg. Viber, Skype, absolute radio. I have those apps on my iPhone 4 and they use 4.8 GB alone

  • Why is the data usage on my iPhone so high? I can't figure out what I'm doing that is causing it to be so high. I've compared to family members who seem to use the same if not more than I do. I frequently make sure I have Wi-Fi on hoping this'll reduce it?
  • Why is my email usage so high on my iPhone 4? My iPhone email is using a LOT of my data. For example, I just switched to T-Mobile and after 1 day my usage is 120 MB with 106 of that being mail. I even have it set to not load images automatically and it is still very high. Any ideas? I do have 4 email accounts on it. WIth about 2 hours left in the day I've gotten 55 emails today.
  • Why is my data usage so high after switching to At&T? When I had my iPhone 4 with Verizon, I used roughly 300MB of data per month. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 and switched to AT&T. Yesterday, at the end of the FIRST DAY of the billing cycle, I checked my data usage --- 500MB! I was barely on the phone at all yesterday. I probably checked Facebook 3-4 times and refreshed my twitter feed a couple times as well. I get about 50 e-mails per day. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
  • 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
