    Unfortunately, it is quite possible there is a program on your phone that uses the internet. When your WiFi isn't available, it will use the 3G connection (software typically doesn't differentiate between the two).

    Get on to Meteor straight away and consider getting yourself a data plan.

    That can set in such away that it wont connect to the network unless you say so, or to connect to wlan but not a network connection.

    Are meteor taking care of you regarding the bill?
