Mobile Web Data Usage

I checked my usage and noticed that my account had used 1mb even though I had mobile web switched off, why would this be?

My data was recently refreshed over all the time the mobile data was off.

I checked which apps had been using data but always thought that as long as mobile web was off then it would only ever use wifi.

In that case I don't know, sry Slightly_frowning_Face

I know that 5.1.1 has a bug that keeps mobile data active even though you close it, causing extra data usage ( mobile radio ).

According to my carrier it's nothing to worry about being that it's so small amount of data.

I believe it to be the network pinging, similar to the superhub routers which let the network know it's there.

Yesterday was about 11kb in total all spread as 1 or 2 kb over the day.

Yes, that sounds completely normal. And they are right such a small amount of data is almost negligible.
