It doesn't show, but does on my wife's mobile. I believe this is because the free allowance expires after one month. Interestingly the only difference between the settings on the two telephones is that in addition to setting 'mobile data off' I also specified 'Restrict background data' on a...

Three do not give any usage information for PAYG, just the account balance.

It gives me a lovely 'Catch 22' situation! "The app version of My3 currently only works on the Three network. Do you want to switch off Wi-Fi ...". Seems to me it's designed to get you to use the Three network and spend a fortune on data charges. So thanks for the thought but it doesn't...

Oh sorry, I didn't notice they were the same, but I read the comment "If you don't check the Show WiFi usage box, there is no tab" and blindly assumed the second screen had no tab. I've noticed that I can drag the white vertical bars to change the reporting period. When I do this I find...

That's right, I have a screen like the 2nd one. It shows a similar graph and a comment "19-26 Jan: about 7.42MB used...." which on my PAYG would cost me 8 pence! So this can't be why they are charging so much, about ?6:00.

So sorry, first time, will not do again. Thanks for all the help.

Does this mean background data is used even if I've set Mobile data off? I have disabled background data for the major apps a short while ago. I also got all data disabled by the telephone company as a safety net. My mobile is only recording less than 10 Mb usage per month, this is nowhere...

I am looking at Settings>Data Usage menu. Is that showing wi-fi data usage? My real problem is that I have PAYG and my balance dropped down much more that I thought it should. I contacted my telephone company "Three" in the UK and they said the charges were due to data but they can't give me...

I have Mobile data set to OFF and the Data enabled box (under Mobile network settings) deselected but my 'phone is still using data!!! Does anyone understand what is happening? The usage statistics suggest Maps, Google Services and Android OS are the worst culprits. I'm on PAYG and do not...

I have the "Data enabled" tick box set to blank. i.e. Disabled. My Nexus 5 is using data! I never, ever, set it to enabled. The main culprits seem to be Maps, Google Services and Android OS. What is happening? I'm being ripped off by Three on my PAYG. (I don't want a contract, I expect to...
