What uses up data on the iphone?

I just got a new Verizon iphone and I wanted to know what kills data. I don't want to go over my limit and get my *** chewed by my mom -.- does texting use up data? Talking on the phone I used up 226mb already and its only been one day I have 2gb.

Sending picture messages uses up data. Some group messages use up data. So do downloading apps, streaming music, or using the Internet without Wi-Fi! Just use Wi-Fi wherever you can and you should be fine!

Some apps will continue running/updating always. So make sure you turn off the "auto check for updates" feature. Some apps check every 15-30 seconds, which kills the data. Others may take longer, but still cause problems.also, while at home disconnect from data and connect to Wi-Fi. It helps a ton. Hope this helps.

Texting and sending photos doesn't use data unless you are using a 3rd party app. Streaming music, video, downloading files, uploading files or folders to the Internet or online, social networks like Facebook, sending/receiving emails, downloading applications or songs, playing games that use Internet connection, tethering your phone as a hotspot. All of this uses data. Dial #data to get a free text message with your current usage to monitor it.
