Data usage rounded up to nearest GB in Bill summary; Cannot download details as spreadsheet

Two problems:
1. Bill summary misrepresents data usage, rounding up to the nearest GB, for one of our 4 lines.
2. Data detail "download to spreadsheet" does not work.
My account has 4 lines. I have an old Family Share plan (no longer available) for 700 minutes; a "feature" for unlimited text; and individual data plans for each of the 4 lines. My daughter has a 2 GB data plan.
Latest Verizon Wireless bill says my daughter used 1.0000000 GB of data. She didn't think so. I logged in to Verizon, went to "View Bill". then for the Bill Period: May 29, 2014 - June 28, 2014, I selected "Details for" > "DATA". I see all the usage by date and time; I can adjust the display from default "KB" to "MB". Then I clicked the link "Download to SpreadSheet ".
Unfortunately, I get a file with only one line, just the headers, no data:
"Date"    "Time"    "Usage Type"    "Description"    "Minutes"    "Application Price"    "Total"
As a workaround, I can select and copy the data on the web page, then paste it into a spreadsheet program. I added a "sum()" formula and found that she used only 325 MB, not 2 GB.

Does the bill say she used 1 GB or 2 GB? You had mentioned them both.
As far as the usage, it's not too say she literally used that much but to say that she used that much or less. It may not matter since she has the 2 GB/$30 which means that you would be billed the same way either way.
Your inability to download the spreadsheet may be due to an issue with your browser.

  • Weather App Affecting my Data Usage

    Hi Community,
    Back in October 2013 when I changed my IPhone from a 4S to a 5S I had to go from an “Unlimited” plan to Tiered plan.  I went to a tiered planned capped at 2 GB per billing cycle.  This didn’t bother me because I would never use all of my allocated data and I usually came in way under 2gb’s
    Under my new plan, I set up my data alerts to monitor my usage.   This past week on tuesday, I was notified that my usage was at 75% of the data allowed.   I immediately called VZW to ask how and the tech said that my phone had streamed for an inordinate amount of time around 18 hours while using a app, on the days where my usage was high.  The tech was unable to tell me which app, but advised me to take it into the store immediately.
    I took my phone into the store and luckily the manager had the same issue on his IPad.  He replaced the Sim Card and reset the settings on my phone and credited my account $20 to pay for the extra usage.   Really great customer service!!!
    Monitoring my data usage, I noticed that my phone would incrementally use the data plan even while on my wifi.    It would only do it in 8 hour increments, I was led to a previous post via Google (on the apple forums) and I found that the culprit may that I had set up my phone to automatically send diagnostic data.  
    I shut this feature off, being nosy I looked at the data that was being sent and noticed two odd diagnostic reports titled: Weather_2013_11.08_17:55 and Weather +Stacks 11/10 20:37:47.
    The latter (Weather +Stacks 11/10 20:37:47.) diagnostic report I can only assume was informing me that the weather app stayed opened beyond its allocated time.  Which prevented the phone from sleeping so it the OS finally crashed the crashed the program. 
    Also I assume that the report was informing me that informed me in the app it had stayed connected to the weather server for 66,447 seconds, which is about 18.45 hours and used 1147387904 bytes of data or just over 1 GB of usage…. 
    Now I’m not saying that these separate instances are related, but the interesting thing 11/10 I was shown according to VZW that I had amassed 66.51 MB’s.
    I am wondering if anyone else has seen this correlation.  I have attached screenshots to clarify any confusing parts of the story.   there are three pics, so scroll all the way down

    Settings > Cellular only counts cellular data.  I can verify that because I'm on AT&T and that carrier offers a service whereby you can telephone *DATA and receive a text message from them telling your month-to-date cellular data usage.  I can compare that number to what I see in Settings > Cellular and the two are pretty well equivalent.
    Again, I do a Settings > Cellular > Reset Statistics at the end of every billing month.
    UPDATE - I said "month-to-date cellular data usage" above.  I should have said "billing period to date."

  • How can I find out my data usage for the past 3 months?

    Greetings all, I have been a long time Verizon customer, and as such I, along with my husband, was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. When I last spoke to a representative, they informed me that the only way we were going to be able to keep our unlimited data was by paying the full retail price ($600+) to get a new phone. So we were considering upgrading and changing to one of the newer data plans so we could still get the discounted price on the new phone, but I would like to make sure I choose one with enough data, without paying for a bunch of data that I don't use, however MyVerizon only shows me the amount I have used since the start of the billing cycle. Is there a way to find out the data usage for both my husband and myself for the last 3 months so I can choose the right option?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

        Hello sweetpea1221! How exciting that you're considering upgrading with us. mrhelper is helpful, indeed. You can view your data usage for each line under the View Bill option via your My Verizon account. You can also view your 3 month average  data usage with our Account Analysis feature. Here's a link that will be helpful in doing so http://bit.ly/vnLjqO. I'm confident that we have a great plan to match your data needs. Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Data usage in BlackBerry Curve 9380

    I am on a 250Mb allowance contract but don't know how to check how much data I have used so far. I am on Orange and I spoke to an advisor who said its best to reset the counter every month but I cant seem to find the counter. Any help??

    Hello Weezy12, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    You can see the life time data usage by doing the following. ***Note*** This number cannot be reset and you should any you should always rely on your wireless service provider for the most up to date and accurate information. 
    Go to Options - Device - Device and Status Information Once on this screen type buyr
    You will see a new field at the bottom that will show your total data usage since the device was purchased. You will need to note this number on the first day of your billing cycle every month to get an idea of how much data you are using. 
    Hope this helps. Have a good day.

  • Data usage of my cellular plan for my i phone 5

    I would like to know how i can setup my i phone 5 to display the data usage of my cellular plan.

    There are two methods that I know of. 1) Put a reminder on your calendar to repeat each month on the day that your monthly cellular plan ends and then go to Settings > Cellular and scroll to the bottom and "Reset Statistics." If you do that, Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Usage > Current Period will show your data usage in close alignment to your cellular plan. 2) Download an app from your cellular provider if they offer one.

  • Data Usage on BB Curve 9300

    I have a couple of questions, I recently activated a BB Curve 9300 on a basic talk & text plan (I don't have a data plan at the moment, I do plan on updating my plan in the near future).
    I'm within wi-fi range almost 99.99% of the time, so I was wondering:
    Can I connect to my home router using Wi-Fi without being charged for data usage?
    Can I install apps from BB App World (downloaded from my desktop) onto my device without being charged?
    Can I use things such as BBM while connected to Wi-Fi, without a data plan?
    Thanks, I appreciate the help!

    That information is, by it's very nature, generic. With hundreds of carriers in the world each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to know exactly what your carrier has for you. Consequently, the formal answer can only come from those who handle your account...your carrier. They determine, by virtue of what you subscribe to from them, what services you have and do not have. They set the billing structure. They set your capabilities. So, if you wish for a formal and official answer, the only place to make that inquiry is to your carrier. Hopefully you will find someone there who has adequate knowledge.
    Good luck!

  • What is my exact data usage? Verizon only rounds up to next GB.

    Although I can see an "estimate" of my current data usage on the Android app and on the website, when I look at historical usage, it only shows it rounded up to the next GB. I would like to see exactly how much data I am using each month.

        Hello Doonser, help is here front and center! To view your data usage, run an account analysis with this link and sign in as the account owner: http://bit.ly/1e0CsR4 It will show an overview of costs in a chart, click on Data on the top right tab and it will show the exact usage each month without it being rounded to the nearest whole number.

  • What's up with data usage on the iPad over LTE?

    I am using the new iPad. This is not my first as I have had an ipad since version 1 (at first with a VZ Mifi, though now I have the one with LTE). When I first set up this iPad i did it on a prepaid account and so I have a baseline of experience (both with the mifi and with built in cellular) that is nothing like what I have experienced recently.
    When I first activated, I averaged 1GB of data use. I activated on prepaid as I thought I might actually turn it off once in a while and I didnt want to have to go through VZ to do that - I don't have an hour+ to waste in store every time i want to do something with my devices. I later decided (silly me) I was not ever going to turn off the data, so why not put it on my regular plan.  The real rub here is my data usage still didnt change. I leave both radios (wifi and cell) on all the time. So when I am home, I am wifi, when i am out, I use cell.
    The odd thing here is, since LTE has come to town, my usage has tripled. Now, some of this is because I have once or twice watched a movie or streamed some audio. But as this has happened only once or twice in a month, it does not explain lump data charges of 500-1,000mb charges hitting my device 5-6 times in a month. Consider this timeline:
    On Saturday afternoon, I decided to use the NFL app to listen to an audio broadcast of the NE patriots game. I did so walking around town. I was easily streaming for 2 hours or more. According to VZW, the charge in data use for this (nearest to time) was at most 47mb.
    Roll forward 2 days during which the two largest charges are 23mb and 13mb - I can even relate these charges to a couple apps I upgraded in that time frame and some podcasts that auto downloaded.
    I see that at 3am on 9-18-12 I had data usage of 900mb. huh?
    My wifi is always connected when I am at home
    Even if, as some suggest on here, the wifi turns off when the device sleeps
    There were no updates to be found
    Movies don't download over Cell as they are over 50mb (though they will stream I think)
    IOS does not allow podcasts or software updates over 50mb anyway so if it was either of those, it would have had to be like 30 of them!
    I have a couple of theories:
    Verizon charges for data as far as timing are way off. They really don't know WHEN data is being used. The system posts involve lags in update of data from towers. (server to server transmission, whatever)
    There is a problem with LTE usage stats on Verizon. I am tempted to turn off LTE for a while to see if the usage goes down.
    I don't want to turn off my cellular all the time as that defeats the usability of the thing. I just want it back the way it was and for these phantom charges to stop. There is nooooo way my ipad used 900mb overnight by itself. There just isn't that much data to be had to bring into the thing when I am not using it.
    Please reply to this with answers only if you KNOW something. I know many will want to be helpful, but if you want to be really really helpful, you will differentiate speculation from fact.
    Has anyone else noticed that LTE data usage is higher? (and not just because having faster speeds makes you want to do more stuff)

    Sorry Tominique, great answer to the question I didnt ask. I know how to add data to my plan.
    My point is, my usage pattern has changed little. yet I am using at a rate 5 times what I was before. And I rarely stream content so I know thats not it. And the times I do, does not coincide with those ridiculous usage figures.
    I get that having more bandwidth will open a stream "wider" so to speak and cause more data usage in order to get better quality. However, in the case of Audio, that extra usage doesnt even come close to justifying these kinds of figures. Much less when posting at 4am when I am fast asleep.
    And forgive me for being a bit curt, but does my post read like I needed to be told that using wifi will save me cell data usage? I know it was pretty long, but at least read it carefully before proposing something so mundanely simplistic.
    And Brian68- Yup, I agree Spot on with you on song size. A 10mb song is a 10mb song. Doesn't matter how fast the stream is. I could see music being compressed, but it most definitely doesn't get any bits added just because the bandwidth opens up. lol What? VZW somehow upgraded my itunes match content from 256kb up to lossless? doubtful.

  • Untimely reporting of data usage

    Why is Verizon's reporting of my data usage so sporadic?  I received two data reports today, one at ~730 am, and one around 9:30am.  Since then:  NOTHING!  Even though I streamed two 40+ minute programs (at their lowest resolution) from Hulu this afternoon.  It's now 10:24pm, and still no report of my latest usage.  I have 2 days left on my cycle, and I want to use as close to my 10 Gb without going over.  They charge per Gb if you go over, plus they "round up".  If they keep you in the dark the last couple of days of your cycle, it pretty much assures them an add-on rip-off!  Of course, it's all perfectly legal, since you have to sign the contract before you find out how they do the accounting!  They own the FCC, so they think they have the right to rip us off. 

    If you were to go through at least 50 pages on the Mobile Web it would have been 0.6MB.  One Game from Media Center is 0.2MB and one ringtone is 0.2MB. Here's a link to access the example of average data usage.

  • Crazy data usage suddenly on Mifi! 10gb in one day?

    I noticed earlier this month that I got a notification for my data usage only about 10 days into my plan and thought it was unusual, but as my son had been streaming a music video I increased my plan, downloaded said video and disconnected his computer from wifi.  Then, 3 days ago I get another notification and tell my son to no longer play games on his iphone and increase my plan yet again.  Today, I get another notification (son at school and wifi on his phone and computer are off) and I increase, yet again to 40GB!!!  I then go around and see what is connected to wifi, our ipad (which was only on a kindle book, not a game or surfing internet, nothing unusual), our Hopper from Dish (which I then disconnected, we do not stream as 4g is too slow and we don't want to use up our data) and turn off the wifi on 2 other iphones (that were running nothing in the background, but did it just in case).  I then almost immediately get an alert that I am at 77% of my new data plan (30.8 gb now) and I begin working on an excel spreadsheet with nothing running on my computer.  A couple of hours later I am at 90% of my data and now, as I write this message, I have gotten 2 more alerts saying that I am now over my 40 gb, so that would be at least 10gb of data used just in the last 6 hours!  A few hours ago I chatted with a Verizon chat and she said that it could be my phones, ipads, hoppers, basically anything but they cannot tell what,  I disconnected everything except this computer and restarted the mifi.  Something is clearly wrong.  They want me to turn it off every night for the next week before they will open a problem ticket but at this rate my bill is going to be absolutely insane!  I haven't changed any of my habits from the last year, other than what I mentioned earlier this month so I am completely baffled.  Help!
    See my log:

    I have had VERY high data usage. 3GB in a few hours time. Verizon help line could not figure it out. I had a Verizon Jetpack 890L. I up graded to a newer model Verizon Jetpack MiFi 6620L in the middle of November. Data usage when even HIGHER! I noticed HIGH data usage in August of 2014. The HIGH data continued in September, October, and November of 2014. The newer Jetpack MiFi 6620L used even MORE data!
    Verizon tech support was not much help. They wanted to know if I had changed the Jetpack password and they thought that someone was using my Jetpack WiFi. The problem is I live in a VERY rural area. My nearest neighbor is MORE than a mile away. My wireless network connection does not show ANY OTHER users! I still changed my password on the Jetpack. I normally change my passwords on a monthly basis. These changes made NO DIFFERENCE in my HIGH data usage. They also asked what was connected to my Jetpack. I have a phone by another provider. I DO NOT use the phone with the Blue Tooth or WiFi on my Jetpack . It's NOT needed for a clear phone signal. I only have my laptop (HP Pavilion) connected to the Jetpack. I have connected my printer by cable and don't even use the wireless printing functions. STILL NO CHANGE IN DATA USAGE!
    The Verizon tech also suggested that I have an Internet Security and Antivirus software. I have used Norton Internet Security and Antivirus software for a decade or more without any problems. The tech suggested that maybe that was the problem. NOT! He felt that the Cloud setting maybe using all this data. I use Norton 360 with the Norton Zone Cloud. I DID NOT receive ANY FIXS from Verizon!
    I also called Norton who provides my Internet Security and Antivirus software. I had been running these packages on an on going basis. I had not shown ANY threats or problems in the past year or more. I had the tech go over my settings to make sure that they were not the problem of HIGH Data Usage. My Norton Zone or Cloud settings were average without any high drain. He asked that I go back to Verizon!
    I finally have found that I may have had Malware that was in my software. I used Malwarebytes. It works well wth my Norton 360. It has slowed my high data usage BUT NOT ELIMANATED the problem. Malwarebytes is a free service. You can also download it for free. You can purchase advance or premium packages on the internet and at some stores if you want a hard copy. It's always worth a try!
    At this point I have run out of options!

  • Data usage spikes

    I have an iMac and an Airbook, both using Time Capsule for WiFi connection to a Verizon 551L via a CradlePoint bridge.  Looking at my normal data usage on my shared plan, my computers and three iPhone 4 (3G) cell phones typically use 250MB/day with normal browsing, e-mail, etc.  I have automatic downloading of updates turned off on all of my devices and I set them to power down at night and sleep during the day if I don't use them for 30-minutes.  When I download iTunes albums, add an app, or update software, my usage will spike to 1-2GB, but I usually stay within my 16GB data plan. When I updated both computers to Mavericks in November, I really paid for that one, using nearly 30GB that month but hey, that was my fault.  But January has been unusual.  Eight days into the current billing period, I had used 5GB of my plan and on day 9, I had a 2.3GB spike at 4AM (My hardware and I were asleep).  Just after noon on the same day, (while I was at work and not using my hardware) I received two data alerts on my company computer; one at 12:10PM (75%) and one at 1:23PM (90%).  I live in a rural area where my nearest neighbor is out of range of my WiFi network and even if they could get through my firewall, access settings, and password restrictions, the data rate required to create those two alerts would have been (at a minimum) 2.4GB/73m or 6mbps.  That's uninterrupted streaming for 73-minutes!  Sorry, that's out-of-family performance, even for 4G LTE.  I'm almost certain that this is a problem with Verizon's usage monitoring and not representative of my actual usage.  I see a lot of posts about this same issue, so there must be something going on.  I understand Verizon not being too anxious to resolve it because it's very profitable.

    Good day
    I heard to learn this the hard way when I got my Z10 & Q10 has the newer OS does not do data compression!
    Do you have any apps running in the background? refreshing?

  • Homefusion 5+ GB data usage in minutes

    I can't seem to find an explanation on the usage, so I'm posting this.
    Yesterday (the 14th) was the first day of our new month cycle.  Around 3pm CST I checked the data usage and it was < 0.10 GB.  At 4:30pm I received a text message that I had used 50% of my data plan.  I immediately went to the my verizon website and sure enough it showed 5+GB used.  The last data log entry was 10:07 AM  and showed 0.05GB.  I have checked multiple times today (the 15th) to monitor the usage and see an additional 1+GB was used, but the data log was not updated.  Finally I just checked and I see a new entry for 10/14 at 4:07PM with a value of 6.17GB used.
    I live in a rural area with farm fields and wilderness on all sides and the nearest neighbor .25 miles away.  I only have 1 computer on the network.  I don't have netflix or any other streaming service.  I don't have any large file transfers going on.  How can I tell what sucked down that much bandwidth?  I can't get through to a customer service person because the tech support (800-922-0204) voice menu won't let me get to a person.
    Can someone help me figure this out?
    Thanks

    Q: How can I tell what sucked down that much bandwidth?
    A: You cant, at least on your own.  In order to see exactly what happened with your data you need to have data monitors setup and running to capture the traffic.  VZW has the real data usage logs but will not release them to anyone without a court order.  That means you are on your own to determine how your data is being consumed.  The only way to know is to setup a monitor and then look back through your personal logs.

  • Lights Blinking - Bottom 4 Buttons on Phone / Skype Running / Data Usage

    A couple times I have noticed the 4 buttons at the bottom of my phone (Menu/Back/Home) start blinking or flashing. Is this the phone trying to tell me something or a glitch of sorts? I know one time I had a text message that I hadn't noticed had come in, the other, I think I had a missed call, but not 100% sure but have noticed it a couple times when a phone call was coming in and then one day, as I moved the phone away from my ear to hang up on a phone call I had been on, they were blinking. No logic or pattern to the occurrences that I've noticed.
    And Skype and IM Mobile? I don't use Skype or IM of any kind and understand I cannot uninstall these from my phone like a lot of other applications but it annoys me when it shows it as running as that's just an unnecessary draw on MY battery power. And Tetris? Funny, the only options are a demo version or to purchase it? I mean if I have an app I cannot uninstall, at least give me a decent version to play. And sorry, these kinds of agreements between Verizon and these companies that lock their application on my phone do not entice me to use their app. Its a business practice I don't care for and therefore the last thing I will do is support the business but I rant and digress... So if I'm stuck with this garbage, is there at least any way I can permanently turn off these applications that I cannot uninstall?
    And any help in understanding why, if I do not turn on any applications that I have downloaded, that if I have my data on, and sitting on my desk but not touching it, it looks like I access data every hour of every day when I know I'm not even touching the phone? And yes, on the applications I have downloaded, none are set to update automatically and I have the update automatically turned off in the settings on the phone. I can see the few times I use the data, but I'm wondering about all the data usage that shows like .00001kb up to 8 kb.
    Any help appreciated!

    yes, you are correct, the phone comes with a bunch of apps that you may never use and can not remove them.
    I went a few rounds with verzion several times, they basically say its there if you want to use it.  
    yes, you PAID for a phone you have little control over and they FORCE you to run apps (ever notice that skype runs a service that auto restarts if you kill it?).  they say it's a small amout of resources and it's there if you want to use it.  
    Like you, I don't want to use it and I want it gone but alas Verizon says I must have it and it must run!

  • What causes cellular data usage to decrease if last reset has not changed? I reset every pay period cuz I do not have unlimited and was showing 125 mb sent/1.2g received. Now showing 98mb sent/980mb received. Last reset still shows same

        I reset my cellular data usage every month at the beginning of my billing period so that I can keep track of how much data I am using thru out the month. I do not have the unlimited data plan and have gone over a few times. It's usually the last couple days of my billing cycle and I am charged $10 for an extra gig which I barely use 10% of before my usage is restarted for new billing cycle. FYI, they do not carry the remainder of the unused gig that you purchase for $10 which I disagree with. But have accepted. Lol  Moving on.
        I have two questions. One possibly being answered by the other. 1. Is cellular data used when I sync to iTunes on my home computer to load songs onto my iPhone from my iTunes library(songs that already exist)? 2. What causes the cellular data usage readings in iPhone settings/general/usage/cellular usage to decrease if my last reset has not changed? It is close to end of my billing cycle and I have been keeping close eye. Earlier today it read around 180mb sent/1.2gb received. Now it reads 90mb sent/980 mb recieved. My last reset date reads the same as before. I don't know if my sync and music management had anything to do with the decrease but i didn't notice the decrease until after I had connected to iTunes and loaded music. I should also mention that a 700mb app automatically loaded itself to my phone during the sync process. Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage? Guess turned out to be more than two questions but all related. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. It is information I find valuable. Sorry for the book long question.

    1) No.
    2) It does provide an estimated usage, but it's not accurate. For accurate determination, you should check the remaining/used MBs from the carrier (most of the carriers provide this service for free).
