LTE Data Usage But Data is Off

Turns out this happens in very small amounts as phones with LTE ON oscillate between 3G for calls and back to LTE. At least, according to this post: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/82837/4g-mobile-data-being-used-even-when-mobile-data-setting-is-off

I find this hard to believe. Is this like the WiFi assist on iOS?

I don't know. But I have seen data used to make the initial data connection when turning cellular data ON.

Sometimes the wifi connection happens after the cellular connection. A bit of data can sneak in before wifi disables the cellular data. This article seems to point to a condition where this is continual long after the intial transient during phone start up.
