Exchange sync uses different protocols - been a while, can't recall which (RPC over HTTPS maybe, plus some used in maintaining heartbeat with the Exchange server). AT&T can see the different traffic types and slap data overage charges on for traffic that is not within the accepted data types."

Haven't gotten the first bill yet...
