iPhone - Telstra Data Usage Discrepancy
After the first couple of days of using my iPhone, I noticed a strange discrepancy between how much data Telstra's online usage meter claimed I'd used verses the built in (and probably more accurate) meter.
Now, I wouldn't care so much if the difference was 10-15% but it has been consistently claiming on the website that I've used twice as much as I had on the iPhone.
Usage as shown on the iPhone:
Usage as shown on Telstra's website:
I have called Telstra about this and they did show some concern but said they wouldn't be able to do anything until I'd received my "official" bill.
I think I know what will happen next. I will get the bill, it'll follow the same trend, I'll call Telstra and they will claim that their metering is more accurate than the iPhone's. Updates on this to follow on or after the 17th of August.

No - the iPhone 3G usage meter has an issue, turn the phone on and off a few times and check the usage meter on the phone... my use supposedly is 1Mb and today the Telstra meter says around 70Mb - which I reckon is garbage anyhow as I know I've used less - maybe more via Wifi - possibly something about the phone forming an outgoing GPRS connection before switching to WiFi and forgetting to close the active GPRS connect before continuing to use WiFi.. may be an apple bug.
I am trying to get to the bottom of where it's wrong because I sure as hell don't want a bill a $2/Mb.. whilst on a $10/mo datapack for a phone I've only had a few days.
