Maybe if you're going to be using some heavy bandwidth, like streaming movies, you could put a warning in the app and/or the description. If you make users aware of the consequences, it's their choice. Comments Also, you're not responsible for how people choose to use their phones.

Depends on what functionality you are adding to the app. Agree with @raveyd It is not down to you to babysit how end users use their phone plans. Most people on pay as you go or the equivalent tend to know not to be streaming loads of videos. Comments Apps can be fully offline if everything is packaged with your binary.
