I’m with Rogers in Canada and since I got my iPhone the usage on my bills is 8-10 times higher than indicated on my phone. I would say I’m a “light” data user. Rogers has been no help. Any ideas/experiences? My bills show 300MB+ per month, which is way out of line.

Your iphone usage stats wont reset if you do a restore and then use a backup. Only if you restore completely to factory settings.

Sent: 1.2 MB, Received: 27.4 MB, I’ve had it less than a whole day. I’ve already downloaded roughly around 45 applications for it, that’s probably why my sent to received is so far apart.

Sent: 410 kB, Received 3.7 MB, after 3 days. They charge $0.0054 per KB. People could easily spend a few hundred dollars.

Sent: 5.6MB Received: 73.4MB since I received it a week ago. I don’t want to go too crazy until I get my first Rogers bill for the Data usage to compare. If they somewhat match, I’ll start using the streaming radio like a mad man.

Mm.. Well, first of all, we should realize that every time we reset our IPhones (re-install the Op system), we reset the stats. But I haven't had to reset me IPhone for about 1.5 weeks now (YEAH!!!) and I have received about 169 Mb. That is mostly due to using AOL radio (audio streaming). But WAIT till Slingbox comes out with their IPhone app. THEN you will see high data rates. For those of you who do not know what Slingbox is, it allows you to watch your cable, Satellite channels as well as Tivo recordings through the internet. I use it now on my laptop (was great watching Sci Fi channel while I was in Shanghai). They have software on other phones and should be coming out with an IPhone version sooner or later (I can't wait!).

Mmm What will at&t make of that? hahaha

later

I work for the University of Toronto… and they have a very large WiFi network on the campus. I also have a wireless network at home. So the only time I use 3G is when I’m walking to the subway station, and on the GO Train home. So I’m not using all that much data. Still it’s nice to know I can use 6G if I need to.

I had been wondering about this. For me, 4.9MB sent, 109 MB received. I got mine on launch day. I thought it was going to be much more.
