yo Mr bomb
if ur app is paid, and it has ad...then u should "fire" the app developer for including ad on paid app
if it is free app, u cant blame that developer include it, coz u getting it free, and he will want some ad to support for that cost
usually the ad r short and simple, which i don think take up a lot bytes...not sure wat app u using, n u din state how much it deducted

personally thinking, there is no free meal, if u want use free thing, prepared to pay in another way

ur option is either complaint to developer, buy the paid version, don use the app, or let it be.

those r in app function...which is on ur go...
i believe the question here is about the ad in app

i guess tats the point there....
iPhone is designed as a smartphone...which emphasizes on mobile data a lot....
i believe a lot of its apps/games would be taken that to note too...
be it for in App purchase, or in-App Ad, some of the app/game will likely has at least minimal of web access...

Perhaps if that's the case, u should feedback to Steve...telling him to release a strip-down version of iphone....
iPhone nano....no data, GSM only, all people need is app/game that don access internet, and the fancy touchscreen

personally....i Jailbroken, utilization higher than ever, but i did not experiencing such unknown usage...
probably becoz i aware of wat app i install, if they using bandwidth...
so my advice is....scan through ur settings and apps, whatever that is possible allow network access, disable it, if not, remove it.

so far mine not run off by 10MB
i bet if u hav ur app controlled well on data usage...it shouldn't far off...
most of the usual access is tracked
btw, if let say ur statement date is 1st, means the cycle starts at 1st
by right u should close ur cycle on 30th/31st end
but i don think it is done exactly tat time, may b possible on early 1st oso....
so vary by little is fine
this is wat i noticed of when my unbilled amount reset on web.

y not!!
keep up to date bro
http://www.digi.com.my/internet/3g/index.html
now u can use 3G on digi, so u can voice/sms + 3G internet with them

very very limited....
imagine i can onli see EDGE in cyberjaya

until they expand wide enof...i don think they are a good choice yet
unless u r in the covered zone, which should hav PJ, subang, Cheras...etc all these hot spots

don get it wrong, 3G is the speed u get, not the amount of data
it get ur data download faster....onli if u access a lot data....
so ur key is not to turn on 3G more (u can always on, or turn on onli when u need it), but to use data access more

Try not to put personal experience too much into it...as we really can't tell much how each other using the phone...

u don jailbreak...ur data usage is fine....
he jailbreak, and using sbsettings to control the usage....
i jailbreak, i din use anything at all to cap any usage....

all 3 not over-use and din hav excessive bill like some of those unlucky 1....

jz as fylon said, i really down to wat app u use, whether u aware wat app u use, the settings u hav....etc

most JBer face issue bcoz they jz jailbreak for the sake of free app n crack app, but they dunno what to go around with those config and settings, and the number is higher, bcoz unlocked phone r more prone, especially those app...

there is non-JB user who faces it too....so an over-use is not JB fault, but user problem....

some expert user here can giv u advice on how to manage/control/disable, but in the end, its all up to hw u use it, if u don understand wat u using, then nothing much others can help.

so try understand wat u hav, even u r not into it, at least u know and aware of.

Yusvogue
to some, phone is not just about practicality, it is about trend too...
that's why problem hit on some who opt the phone not for the data/on-the-go service.

but by the way, good news for all is that, in iPhone OS 4.0, there will be an added feature to turn off cellular data, which means turn off data access on the phone to cellular network. that should help solving ur problem in the future... ;-)

data on mobile is using phone cellular network to send/receive data packet, if u(or ur phone) request to send/receive, nothing can stop if the cellular network is still up, except the change of APN(protocol for both dif, done it right then u block the data), or u use the app tat does not access without notice, or not accesing, or u know app u using and din simple allow/enable the access.

and now, for OS4.0, we gonna hav iAd, i dunno how it works(ask the developer better), but if the Ad might sync via network, means data transfer on the go whenever u access ur app with ad(free app mostly) is inevitable.

not to target iPhone only la....blackberry, NexusOne, Android, etc too

again the words, if u don wish to utilize all these features, why use a phone that is build around these features...

I think sort of app like this
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/at-t-mywire...d309172177?mt=8
would certainly benefit all here.....
sadly we din see Maxis/Digi releasing something like this for us....
infra cant? i doubt tat.....

if want, let's urge our telco to release such app to us...so that we can monitor our usage....
