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.

If you download the AT&T app onto your phone, you can see the data usage, minutes, etc. You can individually turn off each cell phone if you feel like your child (for example) is going over the limit and should be shut off. It will turn off the cell phones internet, but he/she will still be able to call and text.

Franky above, from 11-26-2012, did you solve this problem? Find a solution? This same thing is happening to my iphone 4 currently… AT&T has no answers, but the usage is definitely not mine, sites viewed that I have never in my life visited.

  • Unknown iPhone passcode set by unknown person? A passcode has been set on my iPhone without me knowing, now it is locked up. It says here to connect it to my computer and back up then restore my iPhone. Will this clear everything off my phone or will it be the same as it was before it got locked? I have only attempted unlocking it about 5 times in fear of disabling it. I do not want to back up then restore it if it will clear everything off and transfer it to the computer. Are there any alternatives to unlocking my iPhone?
  • 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
