I got my service provider to send me a comprehensive data report on my usage.
It seems that every morning at 5am there is a 200MB download, every morning same time.
Whats could be using data at that time?

I havent been charged as my night owl takes care of it, but im going overseas and im a little worried.
200MB at R150 a MB = R30 000 a day!!!!!!
 
Install Onavo Count.

I hardly use 500mb a month, don't know what the hell would use 200mb a day.

Are "Automatic Downloads" and "Use Cellular Data" off? Check Settings/Store...

Are those IP addresses? If not, can you get the IP addresses that you are logging onto and do a reverse lookup. Chose 37.88.8.31 randomly and that IP address belongs to Telkom Deutschland. 307.33.13.52 is not a valid IP hence my question. Try and get the IPs from the detailed log.

Damn! There's a Cydia app called Firewall IP that can block outgoing connections... Still checking the app store.

Those values are data received, sent and total - nothing to do with IP addresses

Nope its sent, received and total(bold) data in MB.
 
Are you absolutely sure that you don't have iCloud Backup enabled on Cellular? Because my iCloud backups happen at 3:33ish by the looks of it. Would make sense that it runs at some regular interval in a US time zone.

Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup (ON/OFF)
