[Troubleshooting] Phone dies quickly, seems to want data...

I have an LG Cosmos 2 phone with unlimited texting. The battery on this phone has been pretty short, and it seems like The icons for Data Session and In Call State are on a lot... and I never use data and I don't make many calls with the phone... is something wrong? Why is this phone always getting a data session considering I never use those features??

How long have you had the phone

Not too long... but I think I figured it out. When I called and switched from a smartphone to this cosmos 2, the VZ rep blocked all data for some odd reason on that number. I called last night and it was turned back on. I think the phone was always looking for access to some data on VZ's network, and just tried to connect over and over and over, killing the battery.

Phone is charging now, once full I'll see how long a charge lasts. Hope that fixed my issue.

Yup, we have a winner. Phone has been on and in use all day today- Data and Phone icons have not come on and battery is still at full bars. Freaky, but blocked data caused poor battery life... interesting.. but good to have fixed.
