At home we have 2 iPod touches, an iPad and my iPhone. We use all that on MY iTunes account so I can keep track of all purchases. My daughters are constantly downloading new apps to an iPod and the iPad and ALL those apps download to my iPhone automatically. I believe that is the reason that I went through 1/2 of a months data in 2 days. I know there is a way to stop those apps from downloading to my phone (apps I download to my phone are NOT downloaded to the iPod or iPad) - how do I set that??
 
On your phone, go to Settings > Store and ensure the "Automatic Downloads" are turned OFF for the items you don't want (you can turn off Music, Apps and Books).

Then, no more automatic downloads.

I would also turn it off in iTunes. Edit>Preferences>Store>uncheck Automatic Downloads
