You should check with AT&T, but it should be fine. The switch is there to help you control data usage. Just leave it off unless you need it.

    in the transfer structure I am having 10 fields and and the file which is to be loaded contains 7 fields only.where can I control  the other 3 fields and how .
    thanks in advance

    If your source file is flat file, add extra three fields with blank (just add field separator say comma for each extra field) and then load. It should be ok.
    Hope it helps..

  • How to remove a data usage alert email address

    I receive email alerts when my data usage gets to 75%, 90%, and 100% of usage. How do I remove one of the email addresses these alerts are being sent to (it is not one of my email addresses)?

    Verizon_Dan
    I understand your desire to update which email addresses receive the data usage alerts.  I would love to assist.
    When you log into your My Verizon account online, you can edit your alert settings (email addresses and phone numbers) within the "Manage My Account" section of your online account.  Under the "Manage My Account" tab on the left, click the "Manage Family Safeguards & Controls" link.  Then, under the "Usage Controls" tab, click "View Details & Edit".  Lastly, under the "Usage Limits" tab you will then be able to edit the email addresses that you want to receive email alerts.  Please let me know how this works out for you.

  • How can you manage data usage when cellular data is off, but you are using WiFi where your WiFi provider charges for data use?

    I spend quite a few months each year in Canada where I use a Telus Cellular Hub device which is also my WiFi Router.  My iPhone 5 has Cellular Data set to "Off" which insures I won't be charged via my Verizon Wireless Service Provider for charges while in Canada.  Trouble is Telus, Rogers and all the Canadian Internet Providers charge for all Data going through their Systems.  Again, My Cellular Data on the iPhone 5 is turned off, but I use WiFi for such things as checking the Weather, or FaceBook, or searching the Web. 
    I believe that things may be happening in the background from various Apps that use quite a lot of Data.  It could be that iCloud is part of the issue with things being backed up automatically.  It also could be that Apps like AP or other News Apps are sending large amounts of Data in the photos associated with their New Stories, etc.  I typically turn off the App Store "Updates" such that they don't automatically load.  The FaceBook works now posted videos play when you are just scrolling through the News Feed. 
    I have been trying to fine an article somewhere which focuses on this specific problem but unfortunately many if not most articles are about folks worried about using Cellular Data while in a WiFi environment when their Cellular Data is turned on. 
    Does anyone know of a fairly comprehensive article about what settings on which Apps might reduce the Data Usage when Cellular Data is turned "Off" but you are going through a Service Provider who charges for all Data Accessed even when you are using WiFi?

    Thanks for your comments, it is clear you understand my plight.  The trouble is fully understanding what Apps and App Features are transferring data in the background any time you happen to turn WiFi to on (even if you have had it off most of the day or night).  Obviously things like Location Services can constantly be sending and receiving data from my iPhone without any action on my part.  Also if you have things like photo backup on the iCloud then each time you take a photo you are sending a copy out.  All App Updates if set to Automatic also can add up to quite a bit of Data.  Reading the News on AP or scrolling through FB News Feed is actually adding up to a lot of Data.  There could be other culprits that I am not even thinking of.  I don't want to turn Apps like Find My Phone off or turn iCloud off due to loosing the value of such a program entirely.  Again thanks for your quick response. 

  • How to control the data to display for every users?

    Hello Experts,
    Im creating a module in ORACLE forms6i and I want to control all the data to display for every USERs. I have 1 Table and it has 5 columns.
    My module has 5 columns and 5 rows of records to display.
    Problems:
    For USER1, I want to display all DATA in column3 and column4 only and all remaining columns shoud be null.
    For USER2 , I want to dislplay all data in Column1 only and all remaining columns should be null.
    How can i control all the data to display for each columns? Can you help me please. Im using the Clear_Items but its not working only the first row are null but the remaining
    rows has its records.
    Thanks.
    Lala

    I understand that you want certain columns not to show at all on the canvas when a certain user opens the form. Then, in the when-new-form-instance trigger, you should set_item_property(x_item, visible, property_false) for each item you do not want to be dislayed, depending on the user.

  • How to control the data rate of a digital write to a port on a PCI-6509

    I am using a PCI-6509 to write digital words to a custom digital board. I can generate the proper patterns with the 6509 but the resulting pulse rates are very high (150+ khz) which is very noisy. I know the board cannot have its clock controlled. Is there a simple way to adjust the output rate? I am generating a 1D array and writing this to the device with the NI-DAQmx commands. About all I could come up with is interleaving this array multiple times to stretch the resulting pulse. Anything more elegant, as this seems pretty brute force?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hello Tom,
    When doing software-timed updates, you can use a delay function in your loop which is doing the DAQmx Write. Increasing this delay should increase the delay between every sample that is written. Because this is software-timed, it is not deterministic so the time between the samples being output might be greater than what you are actually specifying the delay. However, this is not really a disadvantage compared to the current method you are using (duplicating array values to stretch the pulse) because it is also software-timed. I hope this helps!

  • How can i activate data usage in mexico?

  • Elimininating cellular data usage

    Now that AT&T is obviously trying to get us to adopt low use plans (and then be able to ding us with overage charges) I want to take control of my cellular data usage.
    Even if I'm on a wifi network, if I set my "Settings|General|Usage"Cellular Network Data" stats to zero I find that I'm still sending and receiving cellular data.
    Any ideas on how to determine what rogue apps are using my now precious data traffic?
    What I really want is to be able to tell my iPhone not to use ANY cellular connections unless I specifically ask it to. That way I don't get random chatter sucking up my data when I'm away from wifi.

    Thanks for the info! That's what I was hoping to hear.
    Personally, its not worth it to give up my unlimited to save 5 bucks a month.
    But my wife never goes over 100 Meg a month so we're definitely dropping her to the 200 Meg plan ($15 IS worth it.)
    More important though is the fact that I'll be giving my daughter my 3GS when I get my iPhone 4 this month, and I want better control of data usage now that she'll be on a limited plan.
    I do think that Apple has to provide much better tools for controlling Cellular data usage. What you describe is a nice start, but the iPhone could be MUCH smarter about making quick adjustments more obvious and easy.
    One obvious solution would be to allow quick toggles to be exposed as one-click apps instead of requiring that we have to drill down through multiple screens in the Settings app.
    One click to turn cellular on/off.
    One click to turn wifi on/off.
    etc.
    The sad part is that these are all do-able by third-party developers now, but Apple for some reason doesn't allow it. (Apps that do these things have been rejected.)
    What's up with that?

  • How do I block data use on my phone?

    I have an LG Cosmos with access to mobile web, mobile email and gps. I don't have a data plan so it would charge me by the mb or whatever. Access to these features is really easy so to prevent accidents or other people playing with my phone from racking up my bill, how can I block data usage? Airplane mode would also turn off my phone signal so how else would I block data?

    Well when I accidentally hit mine once I was charged $1.99 for it just trying to connect with the block on, was told it would do that when they blocked it for me  but have never done it since so maybe they changed that.  Mary
    Same thing has happened to me now in 2 of the last 3 months.  Had to call and complain as I don't use the mobile web on my phone.
    So you have the data block?  I was told straight out when they put the block on for me you are charged the minimum for it just trying  to connect so I didn't bother to call and have them take it off since it was my fault and I knew that would happen, guess I should have said something.  I am more carefull now with my fingers.    Mary

  • Error Report: No Data Usage Alerts for 250 MB Plan - June 2014

    Hi, this post will report a data usage alert error for June 2014.
    I previously signed up for data usage alerts when 50%, 75%, and 90% of my data is used. On June 10, at 11:00 PM, I discovered through my Verizon Wireless account that over 250 MB of data had already been used (my plan contains 250 MB). I did not receive any usage alerts prior to this time. I immediately upgraded to the 500 MB plan to avoid overage charges.
    If the data usage alerts had worked properly, I would not have faced the upgrade fee or overage charges. Would it be possible to cancel the additional charges that arose this month because the data usage alerts did not work properly? 
    Thank you!
    Hannah

    Are you serious!!!  Look at all of the calls on this matter in your records and fix it.  I am sure at this point that it is another Verizon scam to solicite millions of dollars from it's customers only to have yet another class action lawsuit filed so the lawyers can get rich and the customers screwed.

  • I have 2 cell numbers on my account both have different dates of when the data usage resets. where can I find the correct date ?

    I have 2 cell phones on my account. Both have different dates for the data usage to reset. Where do I find the correct date for this data usage to change?

    rumfeltb, that's kind of odd. Are both lines on the same plan? You can view your billing cycle date online at My Verizon or at the My Verizon Mobile Application. Click http://vz.to/1nvKlnG to sign in as the Account Owner.

  • IChat data usage

    Hi
    I used iChat today for the first time and it worked a charm. I just have a question about how much of my data usage allowance will it use up?? I have been surprised at how much I used today, and just thought I would ask
    Cheers
    David

    Hello,
    You can view the data rate of your video conference by going to the iChat menu called Video. Under that menu is an item called Connection Doctor. When you open that up make sure that Statistics is selected in the popup box next to the word Show:
    You'll see two numbers for bitrate. The number under Local is the bitrate you are sending, and the number under the user id of your video chat friend is the bitrate you are receiving.
    The bitrate is in units of kilobits per second. Divide that number by 8 to get the kilobytes per second of the video chat.

    As an aside, "data" is already a plural.  The singular is "datum."
