Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug. All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:

Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

I have the exact same problem!
I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

HT1688 iPhone 5S, Settings Cellular Use Cellular Data For Apps - Not Updating

I have iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.4 with AT&T Contractual Plan.
When I change any settings in Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For to disable or enable apps to use cellular data. And, if I exit and enter again it shows the old settings.
Also Call Time > Current Period is not updating.
This is happening for last one week. I have also noticed heavy cellular data usage for last one week.
I have reset the phone as a new phone this it is solved, but if I restore from my backup, then the problem is returning again. Even I have deleted some apps, but it doesnot help.
Please help me to solve this.

Call AT&T - it seems they are forcing their own settings on you.

When iPhone is on Cellular data and WiFi, i cannot make calls and phone goes out of service.

So I have this iPhone 5S unlocked version from the US which I am using in India. When I am connected to my office wireless and also the cellular & 3G data are switched on, my phone goes out of service and I cannot make calls. I can also use internet.
However this works great when I get onto my home WiFi along with cellular & 3G data switched on, I can make calls and also surf the net with the WiFi.
Is anyone having similar issue? I am sure there is something with the office WiFi but what could it be to get my phone out of service.
Any thoughts anybody ?
Thanks,
UG

Yes I shutdown WiFi and I can connect to 3G on Cellular. I can make calls.
If I shutdown Cellular and connect WiFi. I can make calls.
Its just that when both are ON, then no calls can be made.
All combinations work good with Home WiFi.

Do I need to activate my Verizon iphone 5 before I use it in Europe?

do I need to activate my new unlocked Verizon iphone 5 before I take it to Europe? Do you know if there are any limitations on how many times/countries I can activate a gsm card? is LTE going to work as far as there is the right sim each time?
Thank you in advance

If the iPhone does not have the necessary carrier support files, then it won't connect regardless of the bands used. And as evidenced by the addition of more EU carriers just by an update to iOS, those files are not automatically present in the iPhone except for those carriers listed on the page I referenced. I have yet to see any reports of anyone being able to connect a US-sold iPhone 5 to a European carrier via LTE, so those support files are apparently not present in US-sold iPhones.
Again, unless someone has found a workaround that I cannot find any evidence of, a US iPhone will it would seem not work via LTE in Europe. I'd be happy to see reports or methods to the contrary, but I cannot find any.
Regards.

How to unlock my verizon iPhone (contract over) to use it with straight talk?

My contract with Verizon has expired I would like to use mi iPhone with straight talk some people told me that I have to unlock my phone…please help me with real solutions!!!

You can't. The Verizon iPhone 4S can not be used with any US carrier other than Verizon. If you want to use StraightTalk, sell the Verizon phone and buy a StraightTalk iPhone. They are a supported CDMA carrier. Neither StraightTalk, nor Apple support using an unlocked phone on Straight Talk.

Is it possible to unlock a Verizon iPhone 4s for domestic use?

I have an iPhone 4s that has completed its two-year Verizon contract and I am hoping to use it with another carrier (Cricket) I was told by a Verizon technical advisor that while they don't do the unlock themselves that I could do it at "a Mom and Pop cellphone store or many other companies, like Cricket, will do it for you" I had not told her which company I was hoping to go to. Turns out that no mom and pop stores and Cricket can do this--they all say it has to be done by Verizon. Any thoughts or suggestions? I have already unlocked the International portion but need it done for domestic (US) use.

No, Verizon will only unlock an iPhone 4S for international use. And only Verizon can legitmately unlock the phone.

Since Apple already has a SMS/MMS app for the iPhone, which can be used over WiFi, can the same app be installed on the iPad 2?

I have an iPhone 3GS, and realized I do most of my SMS/MMS messaging at home, when connected to my WiFi. Then I began to think, if I'm using the messaging app over WiFi, can the SAME app (which, personally I like much better than the third party apps) be installed on the iPad 2 (which I'm still waiting from back order)?

Incorrect.
SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
"Dumb" phones or phones not in the smart category that don't have internet access in any shape, form, or fashion can exchange SMS/MMS.
Since SMS/MMS (a poor man's email with cell phones since it is very limited) is a cash cow for carriers and very profitable, why wouldn't cell phone carriers be interested in including SMS/MMS as an additional option (and of course at an additional expense) with a data plan only for the iPad? They certainly are interested in it but they can't since SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
Get me the IPAD SMS app
Take your whining someplace else. The self-entitlement displayed here by some is laughable.

What prepaid service can I use my verizon Iphone 5 on

Recently about a month ago there was a commercial on tv that was a no contract Cellphone Carrier that advertised I could take my iPhone5 to their service. Unfortunately through my infinite wisdome I thought I had bookmarked their page and I had not. I was hoping that someone here can help me find their service as I am tired of Verizons BS games like trying to say I was in Canada Mexico and IL all that the same time according to their system. Then their wonderful rep after being told not to changed my data package from 6 gb to 2 gb causing me to go over my data and when I called them to find out why I was over my data I was told I could not go back to the package I had as it was no longer offered as I was getting the 6 gb for 20 bucks a mo and the 2 gb was 20 bucks a mo as well and for me to go back ot it I was looking at 60 bucks. I could swear the company's name started with an A I know its a long shot but they said I could use the verizon Iphone with them and they just had to ship me a new sim card for it and it was good to go. Please help as I need to get my phone working again my mother has cancer and this is the only way I can communicate with her right now is over my phone.

I have a iPhone 5 that I use on Verizon which is CDMA. I can also use that phone on any GSM carrier in the U.S. and abroad. The phone is not locked to Verizon. Even with Verizon I need a Verizon sim. I paid full price for the phone to get an unlocked phone.

Yes, but you won't get 4G LTE.

Verizon iPhone 6 (64GB) with AT&T?

AT&T cannot unlock the cellular data portion of the iPhone6, meaning the phone is unable to connect to the internet unless wifi is engaged. Basically, the phone is a paperweight unless wifi is available. AT&T had me reset network settings and tried a couple other things but nothing worked. Verizon unlocked the iPhone5 so it can be used on all carriers but when I called, they refused to do this for the iPhone6 and shuffled me to about 6 or 7 different representatives. Any ideas? Has anyone had success here?
I am currently using a pre-paid plan with AT&T as I travel internationally often and need to swap sim cards.

Verizon iphones are unlocked for use with non-US GSM carriers. That means t-mobile and ATT are out of the question.

Unlocked Verizon iPhone 5

I've heard all the talk and read the stories about how the Verizon iPhone 5 can be used on AT&T's network. What's the big deal? If you get it through Verizon aren't you locked in their network for two years?

You are locked into a contract with them for 2 years, yes. Unless, of course, you pay full retail price for the phone.

ITunes/iPhone update and Authenticated proxy support

Itunes Iphone update fails to use username with proxy when trying to POST to http://gs.apple.com/TSS/controller
It is quite obvious that this is an Itunes bug, it is useing the proxy and will also use authentication for some portions of the process.
This happens with Iphone 3GSs and iOS 4.3.2 and Iphone 3Gs with iOS 4.2.1 iTunes 10.2.2.12, updates work fine with no proxy and normal itune functions like song buys, radio listening etc... are fine.

HT4528 I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck.

Apparently, no one pays it... That's why they shut off your service.
