Is true the iPhone consume data plan all the time?

Your description was still inaccurate, and I've explained what does cause the reduced overall data usage on a Blackberry.

Didn't say you were wrong about that. I acknowledged those reasons for overall lower data usage. It's just that web and other such transactions, and their compression, have nothing to do with the thread topic, which is involuntary data usage.

My description was targeted toward this thread topic and specific posts in this thread, which were about whether or not all phones constantly use data for push.

And the answer still is, a Blackberry doesn't have to constantly use data and battery for keeping a RIM server push connection open, as other phones must.

OTOH, a typical Exchange push user can easily eat up 5-10MB a month just on server pings. In which case, just turning push on will account for 100% of data usage... without actually reading any mail or doing any browsing.

And that's what's important for the OP to know.

Yeah, thanks to all for the input.

In this case is easy request turn-off push and that stuff, but still worry me the invonluntary data consumption.

Exist a reliable source in the minimum/month that a iPhone demand? ie: if not use email, web, apps with internet, etc, how much will consume the iPhone idle with push off?

Or, as I said. You can jailbreak the device and disable all non-wifi data.
