Default Re: Please explain BIS and WiFi to me

That was the point I was trying to make above: If you have mobile network and wifi enabled, you can't know for sure that ALL data is going out and coming in exclusively through wifi. If may be, but you don't know. The only way to be sure, is to disable the mobile network.

Or, you can test for a month, leaving both mobile network and wifi on, and see what you see.

One other idea, as I'm thinking about it just now, there are some apps that track your data for you. I don't anything about them, and don't know if they break out wifi and mobile separately, and if they can be used in a test to determine at any moment in time, or even in some discreet time period, whether data is going and coming on the mobile network. Might be worth looking into if this is a serious concern for you.
