This would indicate that there is some sort of app (or some one is accidently and or deliberately connecting to the internet) on the phone that is connecting at some point in time to the internet.

that is built into the phone, most, if not all smartphones will shutdown the wifi chipset when the phone goes into hiberation and is not plugged into the charger, this is for power savings and is built into the phone by the manufacturer. Other then that wifi will stay connected as long as it is in range of the access point that is related to the wifi id that is setup by the user on the phone

finally got them to admit it had nothing to do with me today and that they have no idea what it is or.how to.fix it. the latter was not truthful. they have been dealing with this for years and have made millions and millions of dollars off this. they have settled many cases "quietly" . good luck and do not pay for any data overages.

107.44 mg??? what is "mg"? Mega Gigs? If you meant to say "mb" which stands for mega bits, then that is actually typical usage for someone who uses data often. In 1GB there is 1,024 MB; so at that rate you would need around 4-6GB to be on the safe side.
