My laptop wireless has been connected for 8 days and I have only used 10 meg and I work 8 hours a day (although no big work upload and downloads this week). My Phone which is an HTC running Android and pretty much everything Google ever wrote (much to my chagrin and with a lot disabled) barely scratches my 10 gig/month unless I am traveling and using it as a hotspot.
So 3 gig seems more like malware or a bug in some software. Do you have an indicator when communicating over the cell network? Is it constantly lit?
