Not the iPhone's fault. It's yours and Bell's. You streamed a lot of data there.

Call up Bell, if you just activated the phone, there are probably some bugs to work out.

If you don't get unlimited they make you regret it.

Get used to it. Bell will fuck you in the ass if you have a contract. Pay as you go is the best option, plus its cheaper in the long run.

the only thought i have is that you left an app that constantly streams data on, and just didnt shut it off, ever

something is definitely wrong here. that is a RIDICULOUS amount of data to use on a phone. i've never even come close to that even when tethering my phone to my laptop and streaming netflix, etc. for a month. you shouldn't give in on this one....something isn't right. i doubt its an app because an app streaming data non-stopped shouldn't even come close to that kind of usage. i'd get on the horn with them right away - don't wait until your bill comes out. if everything is as you say it is, then something is wrong on their system.

I got my iPhone 4 a year ago yesterday, and they didn't give me the option to have unlimited. They got rid of it because it was bogging down the network. So now my 2gb a month is usually enough because both my workplace and home have wi-fi. Once, after downloading a shitton of porn, I went over, but unless you do that regularly, 2gb is enough.

Make sure you turn off the ability to automatically receive email. Thats a killer. and Youtube is a TON of GB it you watch enough...and depending on App size you may have gone over there too.

Or were you just sending too many nudes to people.

are you sure its Gigabytes not Megabytes? 16.5GB of usage is an ungodly amount for streaming anything... also how did you figure out your gigabyte usage
