If I Switch Location Services & Cellular Data Will I Be Charged by the Telcom?

Hi. Will I have additional charges from the cellular company if I switch ON the Location Services and Cellular Data. My SIM, my iPhone is prepaid, I'm not on a plan of any kind. My load credit seems to be consumed too fast and I was only doing very few local SMS messages. I only use wifi for the internet when I'm using the iPhone's Safari or the App Store or YouTube. My iPhone is the 3G (I hope to buy version 5 this October hopefully if it's has significant updates). Thank you in advance. Recommendations to solve this load credite being consumed too fast are welcome.
How about push notification? Does it add to cellular charges.
Gbu,
Alvin

If you switch on cellular data and you use safari, YouTube..etc on the cellular network....Yes your are using data. Hence you are being charged for it. Some apps use location services . If that is so then yes it needs to use cell data to track you. Push notifications as well. Not sure on the 3G depends on iOS version ... Been awile since I've used it..but I know on my iPhone 4 you can turn on and off location services for particular apps.

Some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off

some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off
No matter how often I go to settings>cellular and turn off the apps, as soon as I close that screen they automatically turn back on.
I prefer not to delete the apps and reload them as I will loose the data in them when they are removed.
Thanks for the help.

First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
"Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??

I have done that and it is definitely on. My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same). Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

Does location services use data

I was wondering whether Location Services uses data and if so how much?

No, it uses the location of the nearest wi-fi router as determined by Apple's database, which is usually, but not always, up-to-date.

HT5467 I can't find a list of all of my apps in location services. It doesn't list all of the apps like fios tv remote that I want to use location services for.

I can't find a list of all of my apps in location services. It doesn't list all of the apps like fios tv remote that I want to use location services for. I mean it doesn't list any of the apps that aren't the factory presets. How can I turn on location services for these apps?

or settings/general/restrictions then under privacy tap on location services. scroll down and it will list apps and whether this service is on/off for particular apps

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

Problem? I'm not even sure what your problem is, much less whether it's a problem with the phone or the carrier.

Hi, it's my first time to add an item in my cart and saved it, but haven't checked it out yet. Does that mean I will already be charged for the item?

Does using "location services" constitute data useage from AT&T

I travel between Seattle and Vancouver, BC almost every weekend. At the border, I always switch to Airplane Mode since I don't wish to be hit by huge data bills from AT&T through Rogers Wireless, the iPhone carrier in Canada. I then turn on WiFi and use the phone for email, web surfing, etc. and even Skype calls when I have a connection.
My question is, if I turn on "location services" while still in Airplane Mode, will that count as cellular data usage in the eyes of AT&T?

Yes, data roaming is off. In fact, I've never turned it on. Thanks for the quick answer.

Location services, Celular data, Usage and Stand by & fast battery drain on iOS 4.3.5

Hi all,
I've been experiencing some trouble with fast battery drain since I have updated to iOS 4.3.5, never experienced it before. I've spent some time reading out through the web, including the Apple Discussion forums, and never found anything conclusive that could lead me to a solution. With some hints from many places and some particular obstination for fixing the problem, I've managed to find a solution. I was willing to share this here just to see if anyone else had the same problem and try to figure out wheter this is a bug or just an ignorant user like me
This is the configuration and symptoms I had for my iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.5 (didn' happen until 4.3.4):
Location services enabled, with several apps been allowed to use it;
Celular data (and 3G) turned off;
Usage and Stand by times reported always equal since last charge (really weird, although other have already reported this);
Cell phone overheated;
Battery drain really fast, dropping from 100% to 50% in about four to five hours with almost no use at all.
The following steps solved my problem:
Close all applications to make sure nothing is running in the background;
Reset statistics in order to observe correctly the celular data traffic;
Make sure you have access to the internet over Wifi;
Turn on Celular data and 3G for a short time (2 minutes should be enough). Observe celular data exchange stats: for me it was 3Kb download and 2Kb uploaded, although no application was running in the background (and there was also no need for celular data, since I was connected over Wifi);
Turn off Celular data and 3G.
Turn off (completelly!) Location services;
No more overheating, usage and stand by being reported equal nor battery fast drain noticed: everything was back to normal.
I have come to the following conclusions: it seems that Location services causes problems with Celular data turned off. I'm not sure whether Location services should work at all with Celular data turned off, but I also believe it doesn't give it the right to drain my battery so fast . I'd like to here from others just to see if anyone has experienced a similar thing and if the solution above helped fixed it. It would be interest if we could confirm this is indeed a bug in iOS 4.3.5.
Best regards,
Adriano

Some further testing and observation lead me to new conclusions. I looks like the problem is not actually related to Location services, but to some buggy application trying to access data when it's not available at all. Even closing all apps, the problem doesn't go away untill Celular data is enabled (and then disabled again).
I still believe this shouldn't be the regular behaviour.

220MB of Time and Location in Cellular Data ?

Since upgrading to an iPhone 5s from a 5 (although still using iOS7) I noticed my data plan use accelerated and couldn't account for it with changed use spending less time on WiFi etc. I turned off background downloading of app updates and a couple of the other battery saving tips I have seen posted.
So under System Services I see by far the biggest hog is this 220MB - is this something core to the OS that I can disable or is it being "used" by another application which doesn't show such high use in its own totals. The largest next one is Google at 9MB.
Is there anything finer granularity than just turning off Location Services ? Any suggestions to find out what keeps checking the time or location ?

I am wondering the same thing. This single category has used 25% of my cellular data for the current billing cycle with my cellular provider.

Losing service+cellular data cannot be activated

I've been having some issues with my iPhone 3GS recently. After contacting my provider, Bell, and getting a new SIM card, my issue was only temporarily resolved.
My phone continues to say no service, or if I do have service, it says cellular data cannot be activated and I cannot receive text messages or use the 3G network.
I've tried everything but restoring my iPhone, any tips would be great.

Cellular data issue is a carrier feature, so give your cell provider a call.
