Why am I using so much data now on Iphone 5 compared to my Android?

I have had three smart phones, two Android and now the Iphone 5 all with Verizon. I have never come close to using a gig with my data, but now, with the Iphone 5, I am almost near my limit of 2GB for two months in a row. I don't get it???? I use wifi all the time at home and work. I do not stream movies. Music, but only on wifi. Anyone have any answers??

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Morning dgohio,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information on this, take a look at this article:

iOS: About cellular data usage

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4146

You can also temporarily disable cellular data when it’s not needed.

From the Home screen:
- iPhone: Tap Settings > General > Network
- iPad: Tap Settings > Cellular Data
Slide the toggle next to Cellular Data to off. This will disable all cellular data traffic until it’s enabled again.

Hope this helps,

Mario
