Rogue program sucking up bandwidth?

[SRT]

My data usage seems to be "over the top." Is there an application that can catch a program that is using a lot of this usage? Just increased my Verizon usage to 7GB and I'm almost at this limit with 14 days to go to the end of this period. The iPhone with 4G is great but I'm thinking there is a rogue program is sucking up a ton of bandwidth. Thanks.

If you ever log onto Facebook it will continue to run in the background until you shut off the device and this can consume a lot of data.

When I was with Verizonwireless there were many people complaining that their usage as shown by Verizon was far greater than it should have been and they were paying hundreds of dollars each month in additional fees. No such problems with Millenicom customers using the Verizon network but having the billing done by Millenicom.

Doesn't IOS 7 have cloud sync?

Thanks, guys for your input. Turned off stocks and few others access. We'll see how much that helps.

Sorry, guys. It is an iPhone 5S.

Ummmmm-maybe it's hooking up with a laptop that's got some cloud program running? Or maybe photos are being backed up over and over???

The only way to do any task or bandwidth management on the iPhone is to jailbreak it and use a utility like FireWallIP to block a process from accessing the Net unless it is on Wi-Fi. Android, this is a lot easier.

-Correction-

In iOS 7, you can go into settings and turn off cellular access per app without needing to jailbreak.

The iPhone 4 is not 4G. Need an iPhone 5.

Ummm, ... he said iPhone WITH 4G. 🙂

I've edited my post to included the original referenced post. Hopefully, it make sense now?

My wife's iPhone was sucking up data and I discovered she had accidentally started the stock ticker. I stopped it and there was a world of difference. I wish I could delete it from her desktop but it seems to be a "perma-app". I haven't looked for a task manager for her iPhone like I have on my Galaxy Android but just check occasionally to see what she has running.

You don't say what phone you're using so it's hard to say where to look for your usage...if it's an Android platform, click 'Settings', scroll to 'Data Usage', then scroll down. Your usage is listed in order, biggest first....Dennis
