Hey Guys-
My name is Michael and I am new to the forums.
I have never been a been a checker of data usage until the recent AT&T data changes. Since then I have been checking it every day just to see what my usage is.
I just got the email back from AT&T. But before I copy and paste the letter, some background information. I work 13 hours a day 6 days a week. When I am at work I am working so it is not like I am on my iPhone all day, but with wifi that shouldn't matter anyway.
On the seventh day which is Sunday I am off and I usually sleep 14-15 hours because I am so tired from my work week. I am not on my iPhone alot, but every day it seems like it creeps up 50 MB without fail. I do not use You Tube, nor do I stream. I do use Twitter and Facebook alot and check the news and tech sites.
Your thoughts? Especially with the new plans they say they are trying to help people, but are they trying to make more money off us instead? I consider myself a light to medium user.
Thank you for your time and thoughts, this seems like a heck of a lot of usage but it may just be me...
Michael

The iPhone is a very rich, data centric, device. Even accessing the 3G or EDGE data networks for a short amount of time can transfer large amounts of data.
