iOS9 cost warning
Discussion
There is a setting in the new iOS9 called “WiFi Assist”.
This new built-in feature automatically switches between the Wi-Fi and mobile data network to provide the best data connection to the user at all times. If the connection between the iPhone and the wireless router is weak (ie you are upstairs and the router is downstairs etc) then the iPhone automatically switches to mobile data and uses that instead of the WiFi. Some users are experiencing a significant increase in data usage after iOS9 upgrade, even though there is no change in their browsing habits.
If you have iOS9 go into Settings, Mobile Data (may be labelled as “Cellular” on older iPhone 4 and 5), scroll right to the very bottom and turn off “WiFi Assist”. It is turned on as the default!

Any impact on cost will depend on your own data contract/plan.
