Things like email and the App store will be checking during the day for updates, so they will be using some data, although I would expect that to be kilobytes, not a massive amount of data usage.

Wifi is for your home wireless and would help save battery but wont stop the phone using GPRS and 3G for connecting to the internet. And data roaming is only used when abroad.

Usually heavy usage is down to the obvious, pics, vids or music streaming though I`ve just been through a similar problem on a different phone and found out my daughter practically lives on Facebook.
What`s your allowance data allowance on the Iphone?

You can turn off 3G in the menu too, as that may be how it`s accessing.
Which network are you with? Most have some form of add-on internet usage that will cost you but may be much less than you are just now as I`m guessing you`re comment of £1 per day is that your tariff has zero internet allowance so the first time every day it accesses the net you get the £1 charge?

can`t really add to whats allready been said, but maybe the data bolt on would suit you ? not looked for ages, but it used to be £7.50p a month, & was available on both contract & P&G..

hope this helps.

I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Although I have pessimistic tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself may find a touch unsettling, I still consider myself an optimist. Maybe you've observed (this). Cynicism is not typically associated with a positive point of view. But I will argue that I have just that mix.
