Why is it that it takes 48 hours to update my international usage?

As a subscriber to the 500 minutes Verizon World Plan I find the practice of updating of the usage 48 hours after the making of a call highly suspect. My choices here is either risk going over the limit unknowingly  - and being hit with an excessively high charge - or not using all of the minutes that I am paying for! If my bank handled my checking account in this manner, I am sure the government would shut them down.
Each time a call is made  - international or not - the number called and the duration of that call is recorded. Why is it that the international account is not immediately updated right after that call? CableVision international plan does it! I know there is absolutely no reason - other than one to sucker the consumer into either going over the limit or to not use all the allowed minutes - why this updating cannot be done. I worked in IT for more than 50 years - computer operator, computer programmer, system programmer, data base administrator, network specialist - explain to me what is the limitation in your system design that prevent the immediate updating of the international usage account.

Without having more specific information from you - and BTW - don't just repeat the question in the description area of your post - provide some details - here are a number of basic troubleshooting steps that you can try.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If Safari is bogging down on you ....
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why does my Apple TV take 3 hours to update, only to tell me, "The update was not successful?"

    Slow Internet connection is one possibility.

  • Why is it that it takes ages to watch a movie bought on the Itunes store, compared to Netflix which is instant? I don't understand this?

    Why is it that it takes ages to watch a movie bought on the Itunes store, compared to Netflix which is instant? I don't understand this? I can watch a two and a half hour movie on netflix and it'll take maybe a minute to buffer but when I want to watch something I bought on itunes it always takes like six hours to watch a movie about an hour and a half?

    I am currently having the same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
    Thanks.

  • Can I uninstall iTunes as it is going to take 5 hours to update?

    Can I uninstall iTunes and reinstall  as it is going to take 5 hours to update? Will I loose everything?

    You can skip updating the iPad Software if you just want to sync it.
    The Software Update itself should take no more than 20 minutes to install, so it sounds like your internet connection must be quite slow as iTunes must download the update before installing it.

  • Why does "downloading additional components" take 36 hours?

    Hi there,
    I'm about to go on the road for 6 weeks so am trying to install Mavericks onto a USB stick so I can have a bootable drive with a bunch of trouble shooting tools installed.
    But when I try to install Mavericks (restart then Command R) the stage "Downloading additional components" says it will take 36 hours. I tried restarting the process and doing a clean erase of the drive using the installer's Disk Utility and this has dropped it to 8 hours but over the past 20mins it's climbed to 14 hours?
    Frankly, I don't understand why I can't just use the 5gb Mavericks installer I've already downloaded - but I can't because the installer states Mavericks can't be installed on this Machine (I think because it's already installed).
    Does anyone know how to install the OS onto a disk quickly? I really don't understand all these new restrictions.
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    i formatted the Hard Drive from Disk Utility in order to Re-install OSX Lion...The download time first shown was like 53 hours and then after like 10 minutes it went down to 10 hours...i am pretty sure thst the internet connection i have is very fast, so why does downloading OSX Lion take so long?
    It's about 4GB, from memory, and the download speed can be affected from things like site traffic or variations in speed from your own ISP. But in general, it IS a very large download. Also never put your trust in a computer telling you how much time is left to download. As you can see, it recalculates everything more often and more quickly than the Tax Department!

    It needs to load a portion before playback can start, the time it takes is dependent on your network.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net (at least 6mbps needed for instant HD)
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)

  • TS1702 Is it normal to take 20 hours to update iPad software to iOS 5.1.1?

    Is it normal to take 12 to 20 hours to update the iPad software to version iOS 5.1.1?

    That really is extremely slow. But at this point, I would hate to see you stop the download in fear of messing something up. I know it kind of bites - but wait it out and maybe it won't take as long as it is showing.
    But if the time starts increasing on the counter, them I would assume that something is really wrong.

  • HT201210 Why is it that I am not able to update my ap ps. Keeps saying my password is invalid but yet I can download ?

    Why is it that I cannot update my apps, keep saying invalid passwords but yet I can download?

    Hi Susan,
    In that case I will recommend that you consult a local technician/IT team and see if there is some network connectivity issue with your machine.

  • HT4623 i received update notification and started to download update, but it says that it takes 3 hours, which is strange

    I received update notification and started to download it on my iphone 5 but it says it takes 3 hours

    Well, right now, Apple is getting loads of people who are trying to download the new update. My iPod is doing the same thing, so, just wait an hour or two and then try again. It may take a while to veryify the update, and even longer to actually download it. Some people at my school updated their OS in study hall, while others were having the same problem you were. It should be fixed soon, just relax...

  • Why does my ipod touch take an hour to restore?

    There's nothing I've really added to it (no videos, etc) to fill it up, but every time I try to restore it takes forever. I have several other ipods and have never had this problem before.

    A restore deletes all data on your device and reloads and installs all software.
    This takes time.
