I Have the same problem, I switched off location services, maps in data, whatever else maps could be involved in nd then just last nite it chewed 100mb... I'm also on vodacom so I'm seeing a pattern here somehow. Siri was switched on however so I switched it off now nd will see what happens. but I'm gonna go into both apple and vodacom this afternoon because this must be sorted out its a serious issue we have on our hands and some uproar needs to be made against those responsible!

I think the problem is as a result of the twitter and Facebook account login in settings . I noticed my friends with no twitter account login didn't have the problem . So I deleted my twitter account and the problem is gone .. Don't accept any location service offer from twitter in their app .. Constantly check if the twitter account has not been re signed in by the app
