I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm a little annoyed.
I have a shared data plan my wife and I share between two iPhones and two iPads. We don't use much data because we almost always have wifi access. We stay on a 4gb plan, and change if it looks like we are going over (rarely).
A few days ago, more than a week before the end of the billing cycle, I got a message that we had gone through 75% of our data allotment. A day later, we supposedly had gone through our data. I couldn't imagine how.
When I called Verizon, I was asked if I had encountered trouble sending any email, which may have remained in my outbox for a prolonged period, I did have problems sending two email messages last week, and the messages apparently remained in my outbox for a couple of days.
The Verizon rep suggested that this is what ate my data. He explained that when messages remain in the outbox, the iPhone supposedly tries to resend them every second. When I was away from wifi, the phone continued to try to send via my data network.
The Verizon Rep suggested that he sees this quite often. I had to up my data plan for the cycle, at my expense.
Now that I know this, I'll pay attention to the messages I get if an email isn't sent. But I wish there were some safeguard built into the iOS to prevent this from happening.
