Is there an issue with incorrect tracking of data usage?

I just upgraded from a 4gig shared plan to 6. I never went over the previous plan, but now that I have more data, I've gone over. There is no difference in how we are using our phones, and when I look at the data usage for each phone on the plan (there are 4, all different phones) the times don't make sense - in some cases it appears that data is being used in the early morning hours when we are sleeping. In other cases, the are duplicate entries for the same dates and times. What the hell is going on? I don't even dare try to call Verizon customer service b/c I know I'll be on the phone with them for hours with no resolution or explanation that makes sens to me (it makes perfect sense to them, however). Anyone else experienced this?

Although I am not a conspiracy theorist I am reading more and more on the web that ever sense the Unlimited data went to shared or metered data, people that never exceeded data use previously are now seeing high overages. Of course Verizon will tell you nothing is wrong and it is all your problem. I can remember the old days when people were seeing phamton charges of data use at 99 cents and in the lawsuit that followed Verizon admitted it was an error. They made millions on that error but the class action settlement was peanuts. They still made millions even after admitting the practice.
I personally do not believe that the data counters are 100% accurate. Amazing that people on unlimited that used a few gigs of data if that n ow complain of excessive data over 3, 4, and 8 GB and up. Yeah the phones that were not using a whole lot of data before are suddenly data hogs. again I am sure there is a logical reason for the data jumps.
And no lets not just blame the users, or the device brand this situation is happening across all brand lines. Some more than others such as iPhone's but again this is all about the money.
And don't fall for the Verizon now has plans with double data for the same price, it is a ploy to garner more business. They see this as their answer to the Sprint & T-Mobile and now AT&T plans being offered.
You see with 99% cellular penetration Verizon and other providers have to do anything they can to get and keep customers.
It is big business. You must expect they have ways to generate as much money out of you they can.
Good Luck

  • Is there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly?

    Greetings everybody,
    I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
    I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
    On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
    If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
    THEN
    The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
    Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
    I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
    Thank you very much for your time and help!

  • Handle z-index property in chrome browser (was : Is there another issue with Chrome?)

    Hi,
    I'm just wondering is there another issue with Edge and Chrome.
    I know some stuff got sorted out but I am now having a problem with rectangles (as hitboxes) not showing up within Chrome.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Hi Aibun and Vivekuma,
    I am running the most up-to-date version of Edge, because I knew about the other Chrome issue since it was affecting a lot of my work.
    But I haven't seen anything else to do with it since the update and now I'm getting another issue. Not sure if its the same kind of thing or not.
    Here is my composition : Dropbox - Work_fa
    Basically on the page with "Meet Jeff" there are two little white semi-circles and the hit box should be in the right button but its actually off set and further right than it should be.
    I've looked through the composition and the hitbox is within a symbol (s_cpl_fa_0_guide_page1) so also not sure whether its because of that?

  • Are there any issues with updating to IOS 5.0.1

    I have a  brand new IPad 2 and I see there is an OS update available. I see there are issues with some IPhones, but I'm wondering if there is any reason not to update the OS on my IPad?

    I haven't had any issues, although posts in this forum show some have. To upgrade to iOS5 you need to have your iPad connected to your computer. Once iOS5 is installed, further iOS updates can be installed via WiFi connection.
    You can download a complete iPad 2 User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipad_user_guide.pdf

    I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

    I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

    Hello, I've tried Lion from the day they released to last week I got my computer formated and with leopard again, on my iMac 24" from early 2009 2.9 Ghz core 2 duo, and I have installed 8 Gb of memory, and i have some complains about it, there are some cosmetic issues but mostly I'm concerned about issues bellow the hood, as I'm a stock trader and I depend completly from my computer's performance, let me explain:
    Superficial issues:
    1. They took off "spaces" and I liked it.
    2. I dont use the magic mouse, I need a more accurate mouse for my charts, and it seems they built the entire OS assuming you would use the magic mouse for gestures, scroll, etc to try to mimic in some way the Ipad and Iphone functions, but what if you arent using it like me?
    3. I never used that little rocket icon that makes all your apps appear and that could be one of the "improvements on Lion", at first sight it looks nice and slick, but if you try to use it and make it part of your daily use, you would find it is useless, it is a pain to try to arrange it the way you like it, so I rather use the spotlight to search for my apps, its faster.
    Now the MOST important, 'performance':
    1. It completly suffocate my computers hardware Leopard much more lighter, beggining from the start up that taked almost 1/3 or twice the time, and I think Lion has some bugs bellow the hood, i was doing my normal stuff, some apps running and everything, and suddenly I started to feel the computer a little slow, safari taking forever to open the pages for example, and I opened the activity monitor to see what was going on, and it was there, I was using 4 or 5 gb from my memory, and CPU making insane peaks, and Im using 2.46 gb as im writing it doing exactly the same stuff, (but Im happily using Leopard now), and it wasnt once, as i told before, I used lion since the day they released it and happened several times until it drove me nutts. But leopard not problem in that regard at all, Never.
    hope this helps, and hope some apple guys read that because lion resulted in a big disappointment for me.

  • Are there known issues with App Store crashing on iPad?

    Are there known issues with App Store crashing when trying to update apps on iPad 2 with ios6?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
