Well, if Big-D is true to his word, Apple will certainly make all the devices it wants to sell in the good-old-US-of-A locally.
Nokia? nope, there will never be a Nokia-made mobile phone again. Not in Finland, not in China.

You need root (I have). Maybe there are some that that don't require root?
The problem is that if the baddie is done right, any local network monitor won't see a byte gone astray. Your device could be spewing a constant stream of tens of kBps and the monitoring software would show a flat zero going out
The only way to see something wrong would be an external monitor in your WLAN or in the gateway behind your WLAN. And again, if the baddie was done right it would only send via cellular, being dead quiet when connected only via WLAN
There are of course ways to cut to this problem, too, but it requires equipment that rarely is available to general public; you need to either operate your own test network or connect the device to a cellular emulator.

I think all of those devices have some kind of traffic monitoring software, but there's always room to enhance and improve
