There is no itemisation on data useage, just mb downloads... i am getting $80. at a time downloads at 5am in the morning, when i am asleep!!!! but the telco carrier insists i am making these downloads (which i;m not) because its on the bill. how do i find out if an application or something has an automatic download as part of it, i'm certainly not making these downloads manually but am getting charged for it, so i need to find out if its recurring mistakes on their bills , or something dodgy is happening behind the scenes on my iphone....</p> Does anyone know how to find out exactly what internet data you are using, ie an itemised bill, for eg when you make a call, the number you have called is recorded.
