I've got an LG Thrive on AT&T GoPhone prepaid service and I'd like to limit data usage to keep yearly cost to around $100 or so. In order to accomplish that, data use needs to be less than 90MB/30 days (~60MB/30 days preferable). Unfortunately, turning off data and using wi-fi isn't really an option (at least during the day).
I've already disabled automatic syncing for contacts and email. No Facebook or Twitter. Automatic updates have also been disabled for all apps. However, I need to have Background Data enabled for Google Voice SMS and Location Services for Family Locator.
According to 3G Watchdog Pro, both Google Voice and Family Locator use very little data. However, the overhead stuff can use up to 3MB/day.
What other steps can I take to minimize data usage?
