Burning through roaming data w iPhone

My iPhone seems to be just eating up data and I can't figure out why.
I'm traveling and have only 30 MB of data available. I've been watching it and only using e-mail, I've chewed up 22 MB in 4 days. I turned off location services and shut off the iCloud backup. Then I reset the Data Usage stats, a couple of hours later (after checking my email only once and not opening any attachments) I'd recieved 7 MB and sent almost 1 MB.
Does anyone know what's driving this and how do I shut it off? I just want to be able to have email access while I'm abroad.

It all depends on several factors:
A) How many email accounts do you have enabled?
B) Is Fetch enabled? If so, how often?
C) Is Push enabled?
D) How big are the emails you are sending and/or receiving? (attachments like pictures, documents, and video eat data)
You can turn off Cellular Data in Settings, turning it on only when you need access. However, only 30MB of data will go quickly if you're not careful.

Do I need to turn off Voice And Data Roaming On My iPhone 5 When I Am In The USA And NOT Travelling?

Do I need to turn off Voice And Data Roaming on my iPhone 5 if I am NOT traveling and I am in the USA?
Also can it stay on if I am traveling just through the USA and not getting near any Borders of the Country?
Thanks in advance.

wifi is not something you can be charged for

AT&T blames iPhone 3G for roaming data charges in excess

This is Outrageous. AT&T Called me Sept. 19 to advise my iPhone service would be cancelled. They are trying to collect $10,000 because the 3G was ROAMING Data in the background ONE day in Frankfurt Germany, 480MB they say.
After 4 HOURS in the phone today (landline) with mutliple customer service agents, a family ready to go on Prozac because of the anxiety caused by this issue, and much heartburn on myself, I am without service and with a Billing Problem that AT&T does not want to take responsibility for.
I swear to GOD, I did not use such amount of Braodband and I certainly can not afford to pay such large sum just because AT&T says so; fine print or not, this is plain burglary!
AT&T customer services blames the iPhone 3G as a device which constantly "in the Background retrieves data from the network", in other words, the data and broadband was not a direct request of me, the consumer, and therefore not a practical application or service rendered, if in fact the 3G pulled such large amount of data as AT&T claims it did.
If someone have had this problem, of hidden, surprise, OUTRAGEOUS charges, and know a way to resolve, please advise. The AT&T customer service people on the telephone have no authority to investigate and clarify. They cannot offer proof of what are 480MB consisting of, and simply demmand immediate payment if marginally reducing the amount on the spot.
What an intimidating group of people at AT&T. I really hope someone in AT&T would look at these cases and realize how illogical and senseless it is to follow this inpersonal, irrational, unethical billing practice.
I hope somebody in AT&T, or in the legal world, can help me out of this!

I complained to the FCC . AT&T Customer Service Reps, after many calls totalling more than 9 hours now, can not break down the nature or the services rendered in the $20/Mb 500+MB they are charging me in excess of $10,000 Dlls. The phone was in my pocket. I used it to check e-mail from my children (no attachments, just text) figuring it'd be cheaper than $2.80 telephone roaming charges, right? AT&T does blame the device for TX/RX of data without user intervention.
"Form 2000B at fcc.gov: To the FCC: AT&T is charging me for 500MB of broadband use in Germany and Netherlands that I DID NOT USE. They argue theri 3G iPhone works in the background without user intervention.
After almost six hour on the telephone in 8 different calls with AT&T Wireless Customer Service, they insist on charging me $10,000 Dollars.
This has caused a terrible amount of distress on me and my wife. I need help to stopthis fraudulent charge of $20/MB at 500MB of data I DID NOT REQUEST to transmitt or Receive. PLEASE HELP ME. I AM DESPERATE AND CAN NOT GET AT&T to accept the fraudulent nature of their claim. "

Burning through data plan!?

Since updating my phone to iOS 5 I've been unknowingly burning through all of my 2Gb data plan without doing anything different, why?

Does he watch ANY movies like youtube while on 3G? Is he connected to the wifi when at home? The web surfing will skyrocket if that includes any videos. I'd also assume that the games are sending info over the web.

Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Date on Windows 8.1 is correct. Thank you.

Try doing a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.

I hate it i am fed up it so diffiuclt Why they make it so difficult with transferring photos contacts data from iphone 5s to pc .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hook the phone to the computer, open the Computer icon and look for the iPhone folder. Copy the images. Not difficult at all. Sync your contacts with Outlook through iTunes. Not really so difficult.

How do you get podcasts to list by release date on iPhone?

Read my whole question because I keep seeing people not doing so.
So, podcasts through iTunes on the iPhone recently updated. Before when I downloaded podcast episodes, they would be by release date, in the music app under the specific podcast. For example my churches sermons. Now when I download them, they are no longer by date, but alphabetical order by the title of the episode, which messes up trying to listen to them in order. Everything is through the iPhone. Itunes on iphone and podcasts in theusic app is where i play them from. No sort options that I can see.
Is there a way to fix this? So my stuff is in orderr? I'm noticing it with all the different podcasts I listen to so its not the XML file that's used to organize the podcasts. Unless the update put all the XML files out of date.
Thanks,
Mark

In the past, I discovered the solution was that you must have at least ONE song in a playlist. No idea why. I would make playlists that had 10 podcasts but not until I added 1 song did the playlist, including the 10 podcasts, sync. Sadly, I recently reinstalled and am having the invisible podcast problem all over again, and this time adding 1 song doesn't work. But it might work for you.

How do I get my mobile data on iPhone 3g

HI do I get my mobile data on iPhone 3. Everything else works apart from this. Second hand iphone . I put my sim nix

OK. T-Mobile is NOT owned by AT&T... yet... The deal hasn't gone through yet. T-Mobie's US network is not compatible with the iPhone. Lots of things don't work right. There is not, and never has been an unlocked 3G sold in the US. Don't know where the phone originated, but more than likely it was in the US. If that's the case, the phone has been hacked/jailbroken to get it to work.
Have you tried doing a restore or restoring the phone as new? I have to warn you, if you do so and the phone is hacked/jailbroken, it will re-lock to AT&T and will become unusalbe. I think your best bet right now might be to save yourself a lot of grief and just upgrade to new phone from a legitimate source.
I would never even consider buying an iPhone on ebay. 99% or more are hacked, jailbroken and/or stolen.

Disable roaming data not works (in the same country)

iPhone 2.1
if disable roaming data and your carrier allows to connect to another carrier in the same country (for voice services) your iPhone continue to connect with the other carrier, even if you've disabled roaming data.
that needs to be fixed as soon as possible ...
i've spent a lot of money thinking that disable roaming data works also in the same country and not only abroad

They should then add this features, a lot of people are in the same boat ... and receive tremendous bill due to this lack of capabilities of iPhone to do not lock data connection only with the own carrier in the same country.
I know that there's the possibility to use only one carrier instead of setup in automatic mode the carrier, but, as said, many carriers all over the worls allow theis customers to connect to other carriers for free ONLY for voice BUT not for data ...

Deleted data from iphone thanks to itunes synchronisation

Yesterday, without realising it, I synchronised my iphone (thanks to this automatic synchronisation service offered as a default on itunes, grrrr) to my husband's itunes account which had NOTHING on it. I have now lost everything on my iphone, including apps, photos, purchased itunes, saved contacts, everything. The setting on the iphone has gone back to basics. Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to recover everything that itunes deleted from my iphone? I have searched through itunes and my iphone, and there is nothing that specifically answers the issue of accidentally deleting data from iphone due to itunes synchronisation. HELP!

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred via the iTunes sync/transfer process from a single computer only.
Even with iTunes set to sync an iPod or iPhone automatically when connected, when connecting an iPhone to iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync with the iPhone, a warning message is provided along with a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first, which must be approved.
Contacts on your iPhone are not touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported address book application on the computer which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, which is not selected automatically.
3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on a computer that is logged in with your iTunes account or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, but not the same with music, which can be downloaded once.

HT4972 I cant up date my iphone 4 because we cant use itunes in Costa Rica

I cant up date my iphone 4 because we dont have access to itunes in Costa Rica I need a link

As has been said a couple of times now, you need to update it through iTunes on your computer. The procedure is completely documented, step by step, in both article you apparently read before you came here, "HT4972: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later" and in the article I linked to above in the section headed "Update your device using iTunes".
If your computer does not recognize your iPhone, tell us what operating system and version of iTunes are running on the system and we can probably provide further advice.
Regardss.

Catalog Browser for iPhone (Accessing BI data from iPhone)

Hi All,
There is a prototype from innovative centre called "Catalog Browser for iPhone" which is used for accessing BI data from iPhone. Do anyone have any idea if this is ever productized for sale by SAP??
Is there any other approach for accessing BI data from iPhone? Any help will be highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Raja Sekhar K

Hello Damondhar,
I agree with Mr. Villalba, you should use the information brodcaster to broadcast precalucated views or workbooks to Knowledge Management in the portal. This can be done by events, e.g monthly. Your external users will then have accees to the directory in which the reports are saved (through KM iviews).
Have you read on help.sap.com,

Status, date of iphone.

I recently bought an iphone here through internet, it says that in October is going to ship, but how I will know around what days of october, to know if its during this days, or next week, etc.?

On the iPhone, go to Settings > General > About and you can see the carrier the iPhone is locked to.
As to getting Apple to provide data on iPhones, they are not likely to give you that information, you must prove ownership to gather any data on a device. You can check your registered devices by going to Suipport above right corner of this screen, then ExpressLane.

Any way to transfer selected data from iphone to iphone?

MY problem is: I bought iPhone 6, when I transfered data from iphone 5 through iTunes, 3G on iphone 6 didnt work, i erased contents and settings, it fixed it, the problem was in the backup file actually!! Now i need a way to transfer SMS, whatsapp messages, viber messages and calls!
icloud backup wont work, whatsapp chat backup stuck forever... And i cant use iTunes again!!!
is there any other way to solve this??

Hi,
You can transfer the purchased content from your iPhone to iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
The other music would have to be imported into iTunes again. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209 provides more information.
