I'm having the same problem with all 9 lines I have and that little amount of data use here and there adds up fast.  All of these devices are on wifi while at home so there shouldn't be any data being used up then.  If this "It is normal for the device to use a very small data session during the night to refresh the device on our network" is true then we should be getting credited back that amount of data usage.

I know this is a little late but the answer is your data is being mined. The only solution I have found to be effective is simply turn off cellular at night. I have even gotten in the habit now of only having cellular on when I am actively using teh phone and not on wi-fi. Don't believe me?

Yes 27 months is bit late to be repsonding to a thread and no it's not being mined. if you're that paranoid then stop using cell phones. The times on one bills is when the data is is REPORTED from the tower not when it was used. Sometimes that can be hours later.
