    Hi, last week I changed my phone company and opened a BB data plan. Over the past few days I have noticed my credit running down, not by much, but enough to notice. I guess it is something using the Internet, in the background. Is it possible for this to happen, as I was under the impression that data is passed though BB data plan. Is there any way of finding out which app it is?

    I have closed all apps running, but no joy! Does all data get routed via BB plan? There must be something running in the background not using BB Internet

    Most likely WhatsApp is the one. How often are the update for FB & Twitter.

    FB is every 30 mins. If I remove WhatsApp and re-install would that help

    Whatsapp periodically checks for new messages. I believe FB and Twitter periodically refresh as well (don't use 'em, so can't say for sure.)

    Any app that updates with facebook and twitter and any other social app is going to drain the battery. Delete all of them and just download your facebook and twitter but no other programs that work with them. This will allow you to use them when you want and not drain your battery.

    My problem is something is not using my BB data plan and using normal Internet, along with taking my credit with it! Going to delete individual apps and see what gives.

    Whats App isn't part of any BB plan and you might also have a weather app or location tracking setting in Facebook open.
