Using data too quickly on my Incredible

[dpxpoz]

I have the Talk & Text 1200 plan with PagePlus and I am noticing that lately I am using up the 100MB of data much more quickly than I ever have in the past although I haven't changed my usage routine. I have noticed that a couple of days ago the Uploading Data icon has appeared at the top of my phone but I can't figure out what is uploading and how to shut it off and today I went past my data limit which I never do this soon into my pay period. Any ideas of why this is happening and how do I shut it off?
TIA.

Have you looked at any processes running in the background? For example Facebook or Twitter constantly finding notifications.

Download the Data Enabler widgit from the marketplace (it's free) and use it to turn 3G data off when you don't want or need it. I use it on my Incredible. You can monitor your data usage with Traffic Counter or 3G Watchdog.
