So, I'm in my 3rd month of ownership of my first (**and last**) Huawei smartphone and I have discovered yet another strange family of issues.
I have a 20GB monthly data limit from work so I rarely check my data usage. But I had a few extra charges on my last bill so I decided to check it out. (First time on this phone)

Any ideas?
