According to the Press Service of the courthouse, AT & T is facing a class action over billing have been customers for using data on their devices iOS, specifically the iPhone and iPad. According to the suit, a consulting firm hired by plaintiff's counsel found AT & T has exaggerated use of data in a range of 7 to 14% over a period of two months. In some cases, using loaded data was more than 300% on the actual amount data transferred to the device.
Certainly, it is possible that the excessive use of data can be attributed to the applications running in the background and using the data behind the scenes. However, in accordance with the combination use of background data ignores for all data using exaggerated in AT & T billing. For those who have "unlimited" data plans this shouldn't be a problem, but those who have limited data plans could see some overhead because they exceed their allocation.
As the class progresses, keep an eye on your Inbox for more information about the action and your opportunity to consent or to withdraw from the prosecution. Personally, I paid little attention to the use of my data because as my iPhone 4 and iPad are both on unlimited data plans, but for those who have limited data plans this combination just can attract your attention.
