Personal hotspot data overages?

We live in a rural area and connect to the internet using a personal hotspot. We do not play games, stream videos/movies or anything like that. Most of the time we are just browsing the internet and uploading photos every so often on FB to share with family and friends. My data usage has spiked from 10 to over 20GB a month! I have researched this and contacted Verizon tech support and no one can give me an explanation. I have all the settings on my phone set to use the least amount of data possible and this is STILL a problem. I am so disappointed with Verizon and the customer service I have received. When I asked what/where most of my data was be used my response was something about how a bank could tell me where my money was being spent but Verizon was not able to tell me where my data was being spent. We are currently shopping around for another cell phone provider but I would like to know if anyone else has had this same problem. I refuse to pay $300 for a service that is not that great to begin with.

Hi 3applesnmyi,
We would never want to see you leave! I know how important it is to be able to understand your data usage charges. I see that mosst of your activitees involve uploading and downloading photos, click here to see how much data that really uses on a device http://vz.to/1cRXvFh . Do you have access to Wi-fi? How many devices are connected to or have access to the Hotspot?
Thanks,

Hi, why wifi option dosnt seen in personal hotspot in ios5

hi, why wifi option dosnt seen in personal hotspot in ios5

This worked for me on iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2.
For some reason I need to turn the personal hotspot off twice, maybe because my iPad was connected.
When I turned the Personal Hotspot on with WiFi off I was prompted whether I wanted to turn WiFi on or just use BlueTooth or USB.
It's good to have both options. In a public place I'd prefer Bluetooth. In my office where I'm streaming to a BlueTooth speaker I prefer WifFi. Phone can't handle streaming and hotspot if hotspot data usage is too high.

Unlimited Data Plan and Personal Hotspot possible?

Hello all, I have been a customer with AT&T for over 10 years now and was pretty disappointed with the conversation I just had with one of their customer service representatives. Since I first purchased an iPhone I have had the unlimited data plan for $30 that was required for purchase at the time. I recognize that since they've done away with unlimited data as an option, I have not gone over the 2GB $25 plan, but I still have opted to pay the extra for unlimited usage in case the day should come that I needed it. Today I called the customer service line to inquire about why I was not able to set up a personal hotspot (when I try, my phone tells me to contact AT&T). I was told that I would need to "upgrade" (don't get stuck on the terms) to a 2GB ($25) or 5GB ($50) monthly option in order to use this feature. Something about this seems off to me since I have been carrying forward a plan that AT&T required me to have in the first place, but now it disqualifies me from a feature of the phone - not due to capabilities, mind you. Does anyone know if there is the ability to combine these two features? Really frustrated with AT&T for making it (seem hopefully) an impossibility. Appreciated.

My siblings have Sprint and love it, they also offer unlimited everything for cheaper than ATT, plus an insurance plan for 7 bux a month that offers water damage coverage!! Once I can afford to pay the cancellation or my contract is finally up, ATT will not get another dime out of me, my ten year loyalty apparently is not enough, I have to fight to get some recognition for this loyalty, so its time to move on. I am with you on that. I am so insulted to have paid for two phones for 10 years and I cant share my unlimited data with my dam tablet (which they want me to pay 25-50 dollars just to give it internet access as another phone line so that will also need the 9.99 for the added line too I presume) Its sick and disapppointing. Is there anything ATT offers that doesnt require the customer to be inconvenienced and work twice as hard to get what they need (or THINK they already pay for - as misrepresentation is another special here)? I even had u-verse, and let it be known there was NEVER a month that the bill was the same, there were always charged that needed to be disputed and it was always getting more and more expensive and not a single Rep could explain it to me where it made sense. ATT get your stuff in line. With you not offering unlimited anymore and being one of the more expensive plans I think your loyal customers should be more of a priority, as the new ones will be gone as fast as they come when someone else offers a cheaper plan. We have stuck with you paying $80+ a month for a single line in some cases even when $50- unlimited everything plans are out there, and thats not enough for you to make a few exceptions? I would pay another 10/mo to tether my UNLIMITED plan, but like heck I am going to a limited data plan just to tether so you can try and make more money off me, I PAY YOU ENOUGH!

I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c. If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs?

dianneb, great question and thanks for the help Weth. The good news is if you're on More Everything the mobile hotspot would be apart of your plan just as Weth mentioned. What you just want to keep in mind is that the usage from the tablet while connected to the hotspot would take from your current plan allowance. Hope this helps!

Personal hotspot extra device stealing my data!

I have a brand new iPhone 4s, version 6.0.1, I set up personal hotspot to my PC and android tablet which both work good but my phone tells me I have 3 devices connected! I changed the password and its still saying the same thing. Please tell me how do I find the 3rd device stealing my data?? Bel.

Hi,
Sorry to resurrect old thread.
I have a big problem here. I am using my iphone to connect my PC, dekstop, TV, etc to internet, and I always mindful about my data rate since I am using metered data plan. But somehow, my data usage suddenly increase tremendously. let's say, about 100 times higher than my normal rate.
Been monitoring my phone, I found 2-3 connection logged in when I unplug EVERYTHING from wall socket at my home that can connect to my device. I am sure someone is stealing my hotspot connection, and he probably is one of my neighbor. I don't know who, or which one.
I have tried to change my password 3 times, but that only works for about 1 week at most, then my data plan shot to the roof again. I NEED to secure my phone, or at least limit devices that are allowed to connect to my phone.
I don't want to change my password daily, but I can't let them use my connection forever. I need to limit connection to only selected device. My friend once came to my home and showed me how people do it, and how to ban such devices from connecting to his droid, but I've found no such thing on my phone, and nobody gave a clear answer on the internet.
Please help.. this is driving me nuts.. I've lost close to $3000 a month because of this hijacker.

HT204023 I was able to activate and use my personal hotspot with my iPad4 yesterday but today it says I have to contact my carrier! I did make the $50 payment today as my data was used up this morning, could that be the issue? How long does it take to w

So yesterday was the first time I used my iPad's personal hotspot, and it was great. Just click on it and typed in the password on my laptop. This morning while working out my iPad's data plan ran out so I paid another $50 and was good to go. However when I tried the personal hotspot, I get a message to contact my carrier. What is up with that?

Contact your carrier and ask them.

Huge data usage with Verison 4G LTE hotspot ( Verizon-890L-50DB)

Recently upgraded my internet service to a Verizon 4G LTE hotspot (Verizon-890L-50DB). First month - no problems - second month - I have 6GB of overage charges. Every time I log in to check email or any other minimal data usage task, I get hit with another GB or more of download usage. My computer is an HP Pavilion Laptop, Windows 7 with NETWORX installed. Networx tells me it is indeed MY computer that is downloading this data and my hard drive is also showing the increases in data.
I've run AVG, Glary Utilities, Speedy PC PRO and Spybot Search and Destroy but found no virus, rootkit or anything on my computer that would explain this problem.
When I use a different wireless internet service, I do NOT see the extraneous data usage.
I contacted Verizon's support team and got no help diagnosing the problem but they did agree to send a replacement for my hotspot device. Hopefully this fixes the issue; then I have to battle with them about the unwarranted $60 or more in overage charges.
Has anyone else experienced a problem similar to this?

I would recomend getting out of the contract before the 14 day trial period ends.   Verizon will charge you an activation fee, restocking fee and one months service, but that is better than being stuck with this mess. I have homefusion and am afraid to use since verizon seems to fabricate data usage. Unfortunately I did not realize this untill after the 14 day trial. Now is will cost me $350 to terminate my contract.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me. I purchased the Verizon Jetpack™ 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot 890L two days ago. After one day, I had supposedly used half the 5GB monthly allowance. After two days, I am at 4.25 GB usage. I don't stream movies, I have the hotspot password protected, I live alone, and no one else uses my computer. I have not downloaded any large files. At this rate, I'll go broke soon.

Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

Not all cellular carrier plans support personal hotspot. If that isn't the issue, there may be something else in the following that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756

Sorry but that makes no sense in English. Only your mobile phone company (i.e. "carrier") can enable the Personal Hotspot feature.

Can I use my home WiFi's data while using Personal Hotspot

at the moment I'm using my personal hotspot at home, as I have no ethernet cord to run from my router to PC
Is there someway that I can connect my phone to WiFi and then use that through my computer? or is the only way to use my own data that comes with my phone?
This would be a great help.
Thanks!

It should be using your data. The hotspot connection is via 3G and is supported by your carrier. It can use wifi to connect to your computer, but it cannot use the wifi to provide the data.
How can you connect your computer to wifi anyway. You talk about the inability to connect your computer to the router, but then you want to connect the comptuer to wifi from your router, but still want to use the Personal Hotspot. This does not make any sense. Does the router have the ability to do wifi? If so, you don't need the hotspot, just connect the PC to the router via wifi.

Rogers is saying that IOS4 won't allow use of the personal hotspot with a plan of less than 1GB data. I say it's a policy of theirs, not an iOS restriction. Anyone know the truth?

I call BS but the tech guy was insistent that the iPhone can detect what plan I have and won't enable the feature and there's nothing they can do about it, short of selling me a larger data plan...

Actually it does. It's wrong to lie to a customer. By blaming Apple, they shift the blame and make it seem like there is nothing they can do about it. If they admitted it was their policy, I could complain and try to get it changed or I could move to another carrier.
If a person killed someone and blamed it on a heart attack, the person is stil dead, does it matter? Either way they're dead, right... (extreme, I know, but illustrating a point)
Wow.
It is certainly Rogers policy and is not unusual at all among carriers.
Seems like a non-issue to me, but apparently being "lied to" ( perhaps the employee was simply mistaken, it happens) is a major deal to you.

HT204023 There is no access to personal hotspot in the general setting / cellular data on my iPad mini?

Verify that your carrier supports Personal Hotspot for your device and that you have Personal Hotspot enabled on your cellular plan:
