You can ask for an update on your data usage and ATT will text it to you. They're saying I've used about 2.8G out of my paid 3.0G amount, but it also says "Photo/Video Overage: 1".

Why does it say there's an overage if the amount is not over the limit?

I checked the desktop version of their page. It says I've used that amount but it says nothing about an overage.

One possibility is that each data usage is not added to the total right away?

I was told that phone calls and texts do not apply to data charges; but if there's a photo attached to a text, it DOES apply to your data charges.

If you are using an iPhone, it does use a small amount of data to send/receive iMessages. Adding photos does use extra data.

I looked at Usage Details and was surprised that the Google News home page was 12M. It's just text and 9 small photos.

Over what time period ?? Not surprising when any pictures are included.
