so when I use an iphone app am I using bandwidth or is it using up memory space on my iphone?
like for example, when I play angry-birds is it working off the internet, memory or something else?

Angry Birds works off of the phone's memory. You download the app to the phone and it work even if you are in airplane mode. There are probably some apps that run with the internet, though.

There should be a way on your phone to view what apps are using bandwidth at any given time. Maybe an app that does it too.

Yep, each app is different, so if you are travelling into roaming territory, you want to make sure to shut off all the apps that automatically update and use bandwidth as it can nail you big time!

Yes, you can turn it off. (Don't ask me how, I'm an iPhone hater and don't touch the things  ) My smartphone is also really smart and told me I was in Canada and asked if I wanted to turn off data or incur roaming data charges. Darn nice of it to let me know. |
