I don't really use it but trying to get rid of the couple of dollars on this extra simcard before it expires. 7 March (yesterday) at 7.36pm it had $7.80 (by text confirmation). 8 March (today) at 12.30pm it had $4.13 (by text confirmation). That's $3.67. My prepay plan charges $0.89 per minute. I would had made 2 minutes of calling. That becomes $1.89. Does that sound normal 3G usage to you? I only checked Facebook a few times but didn't post. I didn't use GPS. When I sleep I turn the phone off. That's over 10MB ... Theoretically at home, I took the bus at 7.45pm yesterday - my Wifi connection is a higher priority than VF's 3G connection (per the Nokia menu). So in theory if there is a Wifi connection it would use that first. My Nokia has the Nokia's own social app so it gets the updates every now/then, ditto for its email but I didn't receive any email with attachments. Just your usual - AirNZ, Webjet, Treatme etc ..

Then again I used to go through ~60MB on my iPhone under light usage each month, but that was partly coz of Vodafones crappy coverage. Switched to XT and immediately my usage doubled, even though I was actually using the device less, I'm presuming purely because it was able to actually poll as often as it was trying, and wasn't out of coverage. I now go through ~600MB a month. But yeah thats completely plausible.	Chilling_Silence (9)
