Data Plan Usage

We currently have have share plan that allows us 1400 minutes of talk time each month. We also have a Data Plan that allows each of us 2 GB per month. When either of us accesses the internet, does that use any of our shared talk minutes? In other words, sonce we never use even half of our talk minutes, if we reduce them, will that affect our data plan?

Thanks so much!

No they are separate from each other.  You can reduce your minute plan and your data plan will be left alone.

  • How to view iPad data plan usage history?

    Is there a way to view AT&T's Data Plan usage by month?
    All that I can find is what is available on the iPad Settings in Cellular plan. I don't find a web site login or any other way to see what I've used each month.
    Thanks for any info.

    "Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??

    I have done that and it is definitely on.  My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same).  Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
    I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
    I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

  • Data plan usage in negative numbers

    So day 2 of owning my new Verizon enabled iPad I am out of town with it and I go to the cellular data page to check my usage. It's showing that I have a 20MB plan with -2685MB available in data. I had signed up for a 3GB plan, I had been using the iPad for logmein all day helping customers of mine so I panicked and signed up for additional bandwidth. I got the 10GB plan at that point. After adding it my usage panel now shows a 20MB plan like before and a 250MB plan showing another -9845GB in usage.
    Frankly, I'm still on my trip and I'm not sure how best to sort out this mess. I have email receipts for the proper plans but I don't think I even used the 3GB now that I'm looking at the second plan being all screwed up. Who should I call?

    Hi Lanec,
    I am sending you a private message to address your account concerns. The usage you reported would need to be reviewed on the account to check specifics of the billing. We want to try and avoid any data plan issues from causing billing errors based on when the plans were switched related to your billing cycle. 

  • Data plan usage versus wifi

    This is my first smart phone-rather it is my sons.  Is there a way for the windows phone to use our home wifi-rather than the data from our data plan with verizon????

    This link might be helpful as it explains the WiFi connection,

  • Something is weird going on, my data plan quantity amount used suddenly changed and i suddenly used 5 gb of data without even using it, what is going on?

    My data plan usage went crazy yesterday.
    Suddenly, my totals all changed on the web site from 15gb of 20gb to 4gb of 20gb .
    I got three alerts saying i used 75, 90, and all of my data a half of a day.
    All of my equipment that could use data was off, and our phones showed less than a couple of megabytes used that day.
    SO, there is no way over 5gb of data was used yesterday, and what is going on with my data status online?????
    I will be calling Support later but thought i would post and see if anyone else was experiencing this anomaly.

    I find it VERY hard to believe you only have 2.5 mb of interent usage per month.  I'm guessing you meant 2.5 gb.  Regardless, 2.5 mb or even 10.4 mb is almost nothing.  Any "casual" usage could easily meter right past 10.4mb.
    If you truly only have 2.5mb of usage, I suggest you ONLY answer the phone.  NO text messages, especially with graphics.

  • HT4157 it says that my data plan is used up.  haven't used my data plan

  • What is considered Data in a Data Plan and how can I reduce data usage?

    What is considered Data in a Data Plan and how can I reduce data usage?

    All the above, if u want to reduce try having your phone on wifi when you can like at home.  Also setting your major downloads only when you connec to wifi like updates etc

  • Data plans in the new wireless world

    I see an impending collapse of many peoples internet service approaching soon and very little discussion on the topic, so I decided to write this to help inform Verizon of some of its customers needs.
           What originally attracted me to Verizon was its effort to push beyond the big markets and reach all of America. Create a country where everyone is "connected". Join Verizon and we will take care of you no matter where you live. These are the ideas Verizon has pushed onto people over the years and I commend them on doing a very good job at reaching these goals. The issue is, they have acquired such a large customer base it is now creating problems. An excellent marketing tactic of wireless service providers was always to offer up unlimited data plans to attract people to their service and this used to create very little risk for the service provider because wireless data was slower the telegraph!! Cellular providers used to sell phones, now they sell computers. Have they adjusted to this new market accordingly?
           When you had a 3G phone or even back when it was 2G or 1XX paying extra for unlimited data was pointless. As Verizon's CFO recently pointed out "Unlimited is just a word" "people don't use near the data they think they do" this is exactly why they could profit from unlimited data in the past, because this was true. Have you ever tried to stream a hi-def movie on 3G service? you were lucky if it wasn't pausing to buffer every 10 secs, what did you do every time this happened, you stopped trying to watch it!! Therefore you didn't use the data required to stream that content. Now just when wireless technology is finally becoming fast enough to be useful or enjoyable, it is being shut down.
           The new 4G LTE services have finally made it possible to reach 8-10 MB download speeds on regular basis. You can stream a full 1080 hi-def Blu-ray quality movie with 7.1 surround sound if your internet connection speed is over 5 MB. This sounds great doesn't it, finally I can watch SyFy, Hulu or Vudu with my aircard. This is the problem Verizon is facing, because that one 90 minute movie from Vudu at 1080 hi-def just sucked up 5 GB!!  No that was not a typo, full hi-def streaming video will push 4-5 GB in a couple hours. Verizon had to curtail this "excessive" data usage by reverting to tiered plans or "shared data"  so with the new data plans that was a $50 movie, at that price you would once again stop watching it and not use the data required to stream that content.
           Verizon broadband could not handle this volume of data being used when people started getting 4G internet service, so they had no choice but to end unlimited plans or be faced with the reality that they could not support there millions of customers data usage. For most people this will not create a big issue because they probably still live somewhere that they have access to other internet services such as DSL, Cable, or the best at Fiber Optic. DSL and cable will usually have a plan that creates fast enough internet speeds for streaming video but you will have to pay for a premium service.
           This however does create a step backwards, in what seemed like a step forward for the rural community. 3G unlimited aircard was a great option for rural community's, finally offering them an affordable internet service that often could still play Netflix, as well as all the normal uses such as e-mail and browsing, although it would not stream a 1080 hi-def movie it could at times stream a standard-def movie. Now with unlimited going out the window all those people that thought it was going to be so great to upgrade to a 4G aircard and finally watch movies, quickly realized that wasn't going to happen and worse Verizon is showing signs of completely eliminating all unlimited data as they course through their contracts looking for legal ways to stop honoring them, and for those that they can not stop honoring they have started to "throttle" usage when it exceeds a certain amount usually around 2 GB a month. This is perfectly legal to do, almost all ISP's will do this this when you exceed a certain amount of data, the difference is when your ISP offers 8 MB connection speeds and throttles you down to 5 MB speeds because you use a lot of data, you never really notice it unless you download media instead of streaming it and your downloads seem to take longer then normal but it doesn't effect you enough to complain. When your internet speeds are 1-2 MB as they are with 3G service, throttling brings you down to 300-600 KBPS!! They will throttle your speed down so much that you can't do much of anything except e-mail and browsing, Netflix will not work anymore, so thinking you can stay with a 3G device and just keep what you have isn't an option. They are forcing everyone into new plans. 
           In the past it was very hard to use 10 GB of data on a wireless carriers broadband because speeds were to slow to allow use of all the online media. Now it is very easy to use 60 GB a month if you like movies and online TV. (That is 60 GB without downloading any media just streaming it) Perhaps if we are lucky Verizon will once again return to the table and look for ways to help their rural customers without taking are internet away from us. If I could pay for DSL from my local phone company I would, but I do not even have a phone line tied to my house, and if I decided to get one it still would not have internet access. But due to Verizon's efforts in expanding there 4G service across the country as quickly as possible I do have excellent 4G wireless service available in my home. Just as I thought it was time to get a Verizon aircard and start watching movies again, they told me you will never be able to afford it. 
          If Verizon can create a rural community data plan for users that have no other means to access the internet and and it doesn't cost $600 a month then I will happily buy it, and also understand that it cannot cost $30 a month either, but if people could get, Phone, Internet (with say 50 GB limit), TV (by tv I don't mean Verizon TV that I agree should be an addition to the bill, i mean the free hulu, syfy and payed netflix accounts that are accessible with any internet connection fast enough to stream), Movie Store in their living room (Vudu) all in one package I think that $200 a month is a reasonable price.
         Now all I can do is wait and see who calls first. If Verizon creates a new data plan that allows media streaming at a reasonable price ill buy it. If my Local phone company offers me high speed internet and phone first, ill buy that instead and throw my current $140 month Verizon bill in the trash when I end the contract. I will not have 2 phones, I only have a Verizon phone because I have no Land line in my home. So I guess the race is on to see who can maintain the rural community's business.

    What about Via Sat Exede satellite? 12 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up
    25GB $130
    Free data midnight to 5 am
    Hook up VoIP phone and you got close to what you are asking, depending if you are a night owl or not.

  • Be careful if you change your Data Plan mid month to save money.

    I have been contacted two times now by phone by Verizon representatives that were overwhelmingly concerned about the amount of money I was spending on my monthly cell phone bill.  Their solution, both times, was for me to switch to a different data plan for the month if I see that I am going to run over my allowance.  For the past few months, I had switched my account to the 6 GB plan because I knew that there was a potential for me to run over because of some work that I was doing.  On the 14th of February I looked at my usage and we had only used 2 GB of data for the month and only had 6 days left in my cycle so I decided to switch back to the 4 GB plan to save money.  Remember, this methodology was recommended by Verizon themselves to save money.
    Lets do some math.  I have used ~2 GB of data on a 6 GB plan.  I switched back to the 4 GB plan with only 6 days left in my cycle.  Anyone with any math skills at all would see that I should have ~2 GB of data to use.  This is not the case with Verizon.  AFTER SWITCHING, I was informed that I only had 0.9 GB of data left because they had prorated my data plan.  It is pertinent to mention at this point that you can only switch one time in a month.  Guess what?  I ran over.  Now it is going to cost me more than it would have because I followed their suggestion.  The worst part is, I will be paying more for the 4 GB plan (with the overrun) than I would have had I left it at the 6 GB plan and for the cycle I will only have used ~ 3 GB of data.  Somehow it almost seems illegal to sell someone 4 GB of data and charge them an overage fee for using 3 GB.
    I called Verizon about this and was very politely told, "So what? and is there anything else I can help you with?"  If this isn't a rouse to make money, there has never been one.
    If a Verizon rep reads this and would like to assist, I would be grateful, but I doubt anyone even cares.  Hank Williams said it best, "I was gettin' s******, but I wasn't gettin' kissed."

    Not sure. The only thing I can think of is if you changed it after the billing cycle closed on the time period where you had the overages.

  • How long does it really take to get my unlimited data plan back?

    So Wednesday morning I go into a local Verizon owned-and-operated store to buy a Galaxy S5 on installment plan, like I did for my GS4 a year ago. Get talked into an Edge phone plan and the More plan, and they get that unlimited data plan off my line as fast as possible and then find that I can't get Edge for another 3 weeks. So we revert the changes (in theory), less than half an hour after the original change.
    So I'm just standing there reading twitter and waiting for them to fix the situation and get me back to where I was when I walked in. I was actually willing to go ahead and buy a GS5 on installment plan (as I'd wanted to when I came in), but they *really* did not want me to do that. They got the voice plan back, and put me on a 2GB plan (which is 1/3 of my average usage), telling me I'd be back on my unlimited plan with hotspot service "by the end of the business week."
    Today as I'm checking at the end of the business week, no sign of my data plan or hotspot service. The folks on the social media team tell me that my service might be crippled for another 10 days while an offline team tries to fix what the folks in the store broke.
    Am I really out of luck for two weeks? I got a GS5 on T-Mobile with 5GB of data, which will get me by... TMO didn't seem offended that I wanted a GS5. But if I have to "be careful" with my data (as the store manager put it) on Verizon for two weeks, I may as well forward the phone and power it off.
    At least I know never to set foot in this particular Verizon store again... last year they wouldn't sell me a GS4 "in case someone came in and wanted to upgrade" so I went to another nearby location. If my plans get unbroken, I'll either go to that other location or check eBay for my GS5.

    Think of this and be amazed. If Verizon is trying its best to get customers off unlimited data by any means possible, and quite frankly tell you once you purchase any device on subsidy or the Edge program you lose unlimited. Now the Worry Free Guarantee states within 14 days if you change your mind you can pay a $35 restocking fee, and go back to your old plan.
    However they no longer offer unlimited data so they give you this line of it has to be set back manually (inactive price request) and then it gets denied. Then they say it has to be submitted again for approval and then it gets denied. So why have a worry free guarantee?
    And think to yourself, a plan they can remove in minutes takes them weeks to give back? They don't give it back. Search the forum.
    Good Luck

  • Is there any way to have an ipad wifi 3G but not use the 3G (therefore avoiding the extra data plan costs) and just use the wifi?

    i am looking to buy an ipad 2 or the new ipad (preferably 32gb) but dont want to buy the 3G version as i have unlimited data usage in my mobile phone plan, i know the wifi only ipad is generally cheaper, but i was wondering if there was a way to buy the ipad with 3G capabilities but not use the 3G and avoid the cost of paying the extra unnecessary data plan?

  • FB, Opera all work but will NOT d/l - NO DATA PLAN

    I got this phone second hand and so far Facebook, Viigo and Opera Mini all connect to the internet - and I don't have a data plan. The prob is that as soon as I try to download something through Opera (such as Google apps), it reverts back to the BB browser and gives this error msg:
    "Exceeded maximum redirect attempts to server: http//m.web2go.com/upsell/?msisdn=17132053775&cp=200"
    I had to download Opera to the PC first, but many apps don't have that option. Obviously something was done before I got the phone, but since I have some internet access, I'm reluctant to try anything unknowingly. 
    PLEASE let me know if theres is any other information I can provide that can be helpful, I'm just listing a few things here at random that I assume would be of use.
    --> When I go into my BB browser, a page comes up saying that I do not have web2go plan. The odd thing is that its lists several sites like Facebook ESPN and CNN to try to sell me a plan, but like I stated above, my FB app already works.
    --> APN: gprsinternet (wap.voicestream.com works too)
     APN username: t-mobile
     APN password: ** (unknown - was already entered)
    -->Default browser config: t-zones
     Default MDS browser config: Explorador de Internet (don't ask)
     Default WAP browser config: t-zones
    -->Service Book has SEVERAL entries, here are some:
    provisioning, WLM2.1, blackberry internet browsing service, BBFS2, WAP2, BBFS1, IPPP for BIBS, WAP2 BrowserConfig, WLM VPL, T-mobile USA WAP BrowserConfig
    **Before everyone starts telling me to be careful about my internet usage and how I could end up with a huge bill, I just want to say thanks but I'm already aware. I have something called Blackberry Feature Enabler, and that allows for unlimited data usage, which I have already verified is working through my online account.

    You must have a BlackBerry Data Plan to use the BlackBerry Facebook application.

  • UNLIMITED DATA PLANS! PLEASE BRING IT BACK VERIZON TO EVERYONE!

    I think Verizon should bring back the Unlimited Data Plans because, many students uses so much Data for Videos for their homework and Videos takes up so much Data and there is no way an average family can afford to pay over $100 for a 20GB more Data plan and I think it would nice of Verizon if they would bring back the Unlimited Data Plan around $59/month at least because there are some people that need it for their homes. If you would also offer Unlimited Data Plan to the Mifi service, this would be a big competition with DSL and Cable providers for home internet. When families uses so much Data for Netflix or Rhapsody and Crackle, it takes so much Data and it is important for families to have Unlimited Data Usage for this entertainment. Verizon, I am going to say this, people like me does not like to be limited on how much we use the Internet. I am thankful even on my phone I have the Grandfather Unlimited Data Plan but if you ever take it away from me, I will leave Verizon and switch to Straight Talk. I have many friends I can tell and stir up some stuff with Verizon if this ever happens to me because, my Unlimited Data Plan means so much to me, the only reason I am bringing this up, to help other people who needs it too. I think Verizon has the best Coverage of all than any other provider but all I am asking is, do not take my Unlimited Data Plan from me and please bring it back for other people who needs it. Thanks so much time your time and support. Verizon Wireless Customers, please leave comments, I would love to hear your comments and thanks and have a Great Day!  

    Why are fixed income families on the most expensive carrier? Let alone owning smartphones.
    I don't agree with tiered data either way. I wish they would do like a flat cap of 10gb for x amount of dollars and if you go over that, then you pay more. Put a data cap that no one can realistically hit without absuing, i mean REALLY abusing the service.
    There is a disadvantage to unlimited data though, the person who is streaming and downloading all day can ruin it for a whole bunch of people in that area. But hey, they don't care, as long as they get theirs right? On one end, we have the happy user paying 30 bucks a month and doing like 200gb per month, while everyone else in the area has to suffer with sub par speeds because of this one individual.
    Normal counter arguments is that the premiums are high, ceo gave him self a raise, vz is in the big profits, unlimited means unlimited no matter what, and a couple others I forget. They're valid points, and i do agree that the ceo could take some of his yearly earnings and put some of it back in the network. At the same time though, aren't projects like building cell towers done on a contract basis normally? So even if he is making ridiculous bank, it would be a moot point if he had already paid for the work to be done to the network.
    Government isn't gonna do squat because it's each and every company's right to structure their plans how they wish and charge however much they wish.
    Again, complaining doesn't do anything. Disconnect.

  • No Longer Grandfathering Unlimited Data Plan

    To say that I am disappointed in Verizon is an understatement. I have been with Verizon for over 15 years and have had the same unlimited plan for as long as I can remember. We were unaware that Verizon would no longer be honoring the existing data plan when upgrading your phone and this policy was not made clear when we purchased a new phone recently. When I noted the change to my account and called Verizon, I was given the standard customer service response “we are changing with the new market trying to keep current for our customers”, which is nonsense. As has been discussed here and all over the internet, Verizon is simply gouging their customers for more money with fewer options. They tried to indicate that other carriers do not offer unlimited and they are keeping up with the competition. The truth is that Verizon was ahead of the curve when they offered their unlimited plans during the infancy of the smartphone and now that they are so popular and commonplace with everyone needing a data plan, they see that they can charge more for less. Most mobile companies did away with the unlimited plans long ago but those of us who grandfathered in, have been elated with our service plans that new customers longed to have. Since then, customers have clamored for unlimited plans and the other providers are coming back around to give the people what they want. Unlimited, not share plans. The thought that Verizon is taking away the very plans that their customers are demanding and their competitors are giving is crazy. Verizon is well aware that their customers are unhappy as you can see by the damage control on these forums. At every turn they are closing and deleting posts and discussions that are addressing this travesty. My family, just like many others I have heard from, will be switching to a carrier with an unlimited data plan when our contracts are up. I will be sad to leave Verizon after all these years.

    If Verizon brought back unlimited the network would be slow and you be back here complaining about that. Try studying up on how things work then come back here and complain. These other companies offer "unlimited" data not unlimited data and you should know this. Frankly you and all the unlimited data people are doing Verizon and the rest of it's customers a favor by leaving. You realize your phones have this thing called wi-fi?
    Sprint already has plenty of complaints about how slow it's network is. And they barely have any 4G out there. Just wait until they have 4G everywhere and they get more customers like you that want to max out their connections.
    Sprint's "unlimited data" plan fine print
    Everything Data Plan:  Includes $10 Premium Data add-on for smartphones (no discounts apply). Sprint Mobile Hotspot (MHS): Optional $19.99 or $49.99 add-on to allow your tablet or compatible phone to provide data usage for other Wi-Fi enabled devices. No discounts apply. Connectivity dependent upon compatibility and speeds may vary.  Includes either 2GB or 6GB of on-network data usage with additional data charges of $0.05/MB. 100 MB or 300 MB off-network data limit is combination of tablet/phone and hotspot usage. Additional off-network data charges for tablets is $0.25/MB. Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network roaming usage in a month exceeds (1) voice: 800 minutes. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 MBs or a majority of KBs.
    Ok so you are going to have to pay $10 extra PER smartphone on top of the advertised price. You are going to have to pay a minimum of $20 if you want to use hotspot then you only get 2 GB for that $20. And you're limited to 300 MB a month if you are outside a Sprint area. Not to mention you're speeed is limited to a max of 256 kbps. Not to mention not many Sprint areas have 4G so you'll be limited to 3G speeds. Sounds wonderful. Enjoy.
