Confused on a few things. I have the iPhone 4 with 3G. I don't use my phone all that much...use iMessage approx. 3x/week, and I listen to iHeart Radio at home on wifi. This is my issue: I got a notice that I was over my data usage and will be billed $15. My questions are...is iMessage free when you text between iPhones on AT&T? Does IHeart Radio use data? I feel that I might have my settings wrong because my sister says she uses iMessage all e time and NEVER goes over her data. How can I check my data usage so I don't go over again? Thanks so much for the help!
imessage uses wi-fi or 3g ( from your plan allowance) if wi-fi is not available.

It would be hard to imagine breaking your data plan with iMessage, unless you are passing some massive attachments.
On the other hand, iHeart radio is like Pandora, I think, and streams the music constantly while running. I wonder what happens if your wi-fi drops for a second while you are running that. Will your phone jump over to the cellular connection to keep the app running? If it does, that could easily explain the data overage.
You might want to play around with disabling cellular data when you know you will be parked under wifi for a while.That way, if wifi does blip on you, you don't start munching on your data plan.
