that ping your phone, location, etc. Anything that you accidentally have set to "allow all the time" rather than "allow only when app is open". I've been caught by that a few times, or forgetting to turn an open map app off.

We only get those messages when we're traveling. Myself, son, and daughter are all on our family AT&T plan. Hubby is on the one for work. Between playing games that use maps/location svcs, surfing the web, downloading, and triangulating between different map apps, we usually hit our max if we're out 10 days or more.
