it won't be the fact its 4g. it'll be your settings. checking for email every minute, updating apps constantly, live feeds etc.
Turn them all off, then turn on the ones you want. Change email checking to 'push' bet that'll stop most of your usage

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

Yeah the only thing that 4gee does is better speed. Amounts don't change.

Turn off all push notifications. Stop all apps accessing the network. Change all updates to only when using wi fi. Turn off networking unless you need to access the net.

A lots of apps are about data and information about you, your habits and so on. They report back to their masters and you pay for it. Google is in many ways insidious as well in terms of the data it collects and whats amazing is that we pay for them to collect data about us and we pay for that data to be sent via 3g/4g and what's even more amazing, they make money from that data.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Get a better phone. Not a Samsung 'cause they are sht.

If you had a proper phone you'd just go settings-data-more-useage and it would tell you which applications had been chewing through your data. Then you can just stop it.

I'm sure your iWotsit has some way of doing the same. Apple seem to be afraid that iwotsit users are a bit simple and don't really want you to have any control over your own phone, so settings are difficult to get to. But being 21 and a youf and ting, I'm sure you'll manage :P

I don't understand how having faster internet makes you use more data.

You click on something, it downloads.

You look at two things, they download.

You have to physically choose to use data, either that or you have things running in the back that you don't realise are on .

IPhones are for wannabe hair dressers. Samsung's will make you better looking, people will dig your phone, and amazingness just ooses out of every pore of the user.

Also you become tax exempt, you get an extra wife for sex and cleaning up only no talking required.

Oh dear I've let the secret out now...Samsung are going to be very angry with me

That's wrong. 4G is just a faster network. It doesn't use any more data. The reason you get more data with a 4G contract is because it's fast enough to allow you to watch online videos, iPlayer, Netflix etc. It's things like that which use more data!

If you've got wrist pain and you're using up all your internet data it's nothing to do with which phone you use.
