Depending on how much of a data plan you have, 75 MB may not make that much difference. If you are on one of the 200 MB monthly plans, then that would make a difference and it is concerning. If however you have a 2 GB or even 4 GB per month, don't worry about it too much. It is good to track data usage with dataman or other similar apps, or by calling/texting the carrier, but if you have alarger data plan, then 75 MB may be equal to a drop in that large bucket.
