That is not a large quantity of data. It is 10 MB. And if that information is from your carrier's web site it is most likely a summary of data you have used over a previous time interval. 1:23 AM is when accumulated usage is reported to the billing system, not when the data usage actually happened.

I realize that is not a lot of data, that was just a sample. It is actually my wife's phone and she has a 200 MB plan with ATT.


Seems like random times and not the end of the day reporting time...I picked that example since I know she was not using data at the timme

I am going to restore the phone. I imagine that will fix it.

Restoring the phone won't fix it. There's nothing to fix. Those are all reasonable amounts of data. And every one of them is a summary from a network switch. When your phone moves from one switch to another the switch you have just left sends a summary of your data usage to the billing system. Then, sometime between midnight and 3 AM ET the switch you are currently connected to closes out your account for the day and sends a summary to the switch.


You can see exactly what quantity of data is used by each app by going to Settings/Cellular. Unless you have no additional apps on your phone than the ones it comes with, you disable iCloud syncing, turn off most system services and you receive very little email, 200 MB is not enough data for anyone.
