Ridiculous data charges
I have an iPhone 4S, latest firmware, using Rogers (Canada) as carrier.
This is absolutely ridiculous. It's fine if I get charge stupidly crazy amounts of data charges once, but no I got charged crazy amounts two months in a row, and the funny thing is I've only had the phone for like 3 months, and so far only had 1 month where I got charged a normal fee. The first month I got charged like $2000 in data charges, a few phone calls dropped that to around $300. Apparently some stupid apps leeched data usage even while the phone is in standby. Ok fine I guess I'll just have to put up with the fact that the iPhone wasn't designed for the average consumer in mind and loves to exploit data usage when we don't notice it. Like some kind of sneak thief that we always have to guard from.
This month I got another crazy data usage charge, $400, despite the fact I did every single thing of the following:
- Double tap home button to close ALL apps when going into standby
- Going to options and disable 3G
- Going to options and even disable wifi in case something stupid happens
Why does it still use data when everything is off?? Is there like some kind of hidden app that turns itself and 3G on randomly and start leeching data?
I'm just really p*ssed off right now so I apologize for the harsh wording. I already paid tons of money for this phone yet I can't find a way to protect myself from being absolutely butchered by my carrier in data charges?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6
