I'm not positive, but there are a solid number of reports of people being pretty much being billed for the sum of the numbers that are in "Data Usage" on the Android device. This is exactly what happened to me. The number on my Verizon bill was what my "Data Usage" number said, not what the real used data was. Not sure if this is a carrier, AdBlock, or Android issue. It's definitely dishonest of Verizon, but it doesn't make me trust AdBlockPlus at all, either.

No way the carrier had spyware ON my device. Was running a Moto X dev edition with a Custom ROM & kernel at the time.

Google the phrase "adblock plus data usage android" and read some of the forum discussions / reports about the whole thing.
