But these things should not use up tons of data, should they?

I agree that many of the system services can be turned off, but there are a
few which should stay on, like Find my iPhone and Compass Calibration
(unless you never ever use the compass), also, if you use the Health app to
check how far you walked "Motion calibration and Distance" should probably
remain on.
Here is a portion of an article about location services which explains what
"Cell Network Search" and "WiFi Networking" do:
Crowd-sourced Wi-Fi and cellular Location Services
If Location Services is on, your device will periodically send the
geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an
anonymous and encrypted form to Apple to augment Apple's crowd-sourced
database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations.
In addition, if you're traveling (for example, in a car) and Location
Services is on, a GPS-enabled iOS device will also periodically send GPS
locations and travel speed information in an anonymous and encrypted form to
Apple to be used for building up Apple's crowd-sourced road traffic
database.
The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Apple doesn't personally
identify you.
Here is a link to the entire article:

Best regards,

Hi please turn all system services off. They are not necessary and will
certainly put a drain on both your battery and cellular data.

I have 2 data questions.
1. What is system services, and should it be using half a gig of data in
a 7-day period?
2. Can the Alex voice contribute to using extra data; it wouldn’t make
sense to me, but we are trying to think of everything. Our data is
overaging and only on my wife’s phone, and we have no explanation. That
phone was reset then later backed up and restored and has another issue I
will mention in a separate post.
Thank you.
