this has been answered in a few posts above mate..

turn off cellular data.. that should do the trick.. its a temporary solution till apple addresses the problem..
& dont worry, its not just ur phone.. almost everyone has the issue.. especially prepaid users..

Follow these steps to minimize usage first go to Settings > General > Network
1. Turn off 3G
2. Turn off Cellular Data
3. Only switch them on when you need to use 3G
4. Always monitor your upload/download usage
5. Be very careful when using data roaming

Do note the steps above only helps minimize data. There are a few  forumers here who turn off 3G and cellular data but still got billed for data usage.

Probably some hidden charges but yet to find a way to justify it.

@JasonSky,
I think the rule is also to keep Data Roaming OFF at all times biggrin.gif

hello all. i thought i was the only one facing this problem. last time when i used iphone 2g with celcom prepaid and i used the bossprefs, i didnt get any of this credit problem being eaten silently. after that i changed to bb and then i got back to iphone 3gs. now im using iphone 3gs with celcom prepaid running on 3.1.3 jb-ed and as usual i installed bossprefs and sbsettings.

but seems like its not working anymore i guess? turned off all the settings like JasonSky and tinkerbel mentioned. and even double protection it with sbsettings. but still, im still receiving my push emails and whatsapps notifications even though my wifi is off.

my friend who is using iphone 3gs with maxis had this problem too. he then called the careline and ask him to turn off his data connection once and for all, and he said that its working. i tried calling celcom careline but she said that this is not a problem with the telco but the problem with phone's settings itself sad.gif

sorry if this has been discussed before but i searched the topic and only got to the posts that i quote here.

it's under Settings > General > Network. there's a toggle switch for Cellular Data in iOS 4. this is not available in 3.1.3
