I Did not turn on LTE, FB and others normal data using APP has been disabled. I did not touch my phone at all. Cloud syncing offed.

Regards.

Data shouldn't auto drain unless there's something that triggers the usage.

But it is happening ..

Since u only can afford a small data plan, by right u should settle for a cheap android phone and opt for larger data quota. iPhone is a smart phone and requires data to work properly. Prepaid users usually suffer the most.

i dont think 2gb is a small data plan . I think its very difficult to finish 2gb by normal texting. My issue is, my statistic is showing i'm using less than 5mb. my data drained 470mb already as of now.

If your data is still draining after all the settings described by forummers, could it just be you experiencing something totally different..as in was your last phone smaller than the 5s ?..because larger screens do encourage higher data usage..hence it could be a relative matter for you...

Nop. Was using xiaomi3 too. Wasn't that ridiculous. I had been using 5s for a year and it just started lately, past 3 months
