Does iCloud use my 3G cellular service?

Does iCloud use my 3G cellular service for, say, photostream?

I know the backup is done over wifi, but what features use 3G if any?

iOS 5

Look in Photostream settings - the answer is on the settings, enable photostream on/off page

Oh, duh...my bad. It says that photostream syncs when it gets back to your wifi. So it does not use 3G to upload new pictures. Thx for the direction to the answer?

I am surprised that this info isn't more prominent in the ICloud support documents...

Thx again,

Tim
