Data useage question

This is not a problem as such but I am curious about data useage on my contract phone (O2).

Yesterday morning I reset the Data monitor reading to zero, I was working at home all day so phone was connected to home BB by Wifi, never switched on Data all day.

This morning the Data monitor reading is showing 2.23Mb. All data delivery is switched off - Background Data - Data Roaming - and Data Enabled all off, so where would the data have been used?

Thanks

    Is it possible that the Monitor counts any data, i.e. wifi as well, not mobile data only?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Not sure if that is the case but I would have expected the reading to be higher if all wifi activity was recorded
