Accuracy of mobile data use

Hello

I recently made a switch of carrier and the new carrier data usage reports average higher than I used to.

I usually never checked the mobile use of the data in the settings, so I have no experience on how accurate it is usually. I've always had 3GB included and reaches about 1 to 2 GB maximum.

So, I recently reset the statistics to compare the unusual high numbers reported by the carrier and it turns out that:

My phone displays 40 MB of data transfer while my carrier charge me 300 MB transfer!

I asked the carrier and they said that their figures are correct and their charges are what matters. They also told me I should quit by comparing it to the use of mobile data expressed by my phone, it is not accurate at all.

I am aware that there are certain circumstances why the carrier numbers are higher, for example their billing rounds up to the next full 64 k, transmission, errors that cause returns etc. I expect 10% of the higher numbers, or perhaps 20% higher, but in my case, it's almost ten times!

Anyone experienced something like this before, or knows how to solve this problem? How are the statistics for you?

Best regards

I have not had the problem.  Two iPhone-6 units, both on Verizon 1 G plan.

  • Is it possible to temporarily ignore the Creative Cloud Desktop Update? i.e. mobile data use

    I am a user of mobile tablet (Windows 8).  I am connected via wifi mobile data sometimes, and I need to enter a font or make a quick update to a project with a new font etc. Illustrator or InDesign.  The problem is that when a Cloud Desktop updated creative is available, it forces you to update.  This can be slow and costly over a mobile network.  Is it possible to ignore an update temporarily so that you can operate without the update?  Quite frankly the creative office of Cloud application seems to have an update every three or four days - makes it annoying.

  • Mobile data turn power switch on the second user profile

    Hello
    I just put a second user profile on my Xperia z3 compact for my girlfriend, she's going to borrow the phone for a few weeks, but I can't find an option to enable mobile data using his profile.
    If I turn my profile and then go to hers, she'll have mobile data, but I wanted to be able to control it without having to change.
    There is no option to choose the NPP or mobile data turn on slide it towards the bottom of the configuration menus (the pencil icon) on his profile.
    I'm running the stock android 5.1.1 Xperia.
    Anyone know if this is possible and how? Thank you.

    can't find it on the user guide, https://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz2/userguide/Multiple-user-accounts/

    I guess that's not possible. ?

  • iPhone 5 battery runs very quickly when using mobile data

    When I use mobile data on my iPhone 5, the battery seems to run out quickly. When I say fast, I mean very quickly, it will drop 100% completely dead in 20 minutes. What I do when I use mobile data is send some Snapchats and that's all. I left mobile data on, I have it on when I need to use it. I tried using mobile data for other things, and the same thing happens. Sometimes the phone will completely die to about 40% of the battery being left. I am almost convinced that I need at this point a new battery for my phone. Finally, I want to mention that these problems don't happen when you use mobile data, WiFi. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • iPhone facebook messenger using mobile data

    Hello

    My iphone 6 (with IOS 9.2, I think) uses a large number of mobile phones with video calling Facebook messenger some time connected Wifi. I have assist disabled Wifi. I installed MyDataManager and it shows me that, within a period of half an hour this morning, I used the Wifi 1.5 and 0.5 GB of mobile data. My mobile provide agrees that I used a lot of mobile data today. Which is the only time today I did something data-intensive.

    I saw this happen several times over the past two months where I was sure I was on wifi, but used a lot of mobile data.

    Looking for the forum and can "t find all other references to FB Messenger doing so.

    Anyone experienced this? All solutions?

    What you wanted to hear?

    You know what's using your data. Do you use FB Messenger a lot? Turn off mobile data as a test for a day. If your mobile data fails, you have your answer/solution. Video calls are huge for the use of the data.

    The phone should be able to detect and select wifi on the cell data when both are present, but sometimes it isn't. If your signal wifi cycles or drops during your call video, data of the cell comes into play to keep you going. Even if wifi is disabled.

    Disabling global cellular data or only FB Messenger can be your best way to control this.

  • Location using mobile data

    My mobile data is turned off and I am connected to my WiFi. Whenever any application uses location my phone connects for a second to the network and uses mobile data, mobile data are always off. As I use a prepaid SIM, I have to pay for the use of data in 15 minutes, even if my phone connects just for a second. Either I can disable location or delete the APN to solve the problem for now, but it is not a real solution. Someone has an idea?

    What you can try instead of delete the APN is to edit and check the APN type. If the APN type contains "extra", delete and save the APN.

    The GPS in the phone supports assisted startup and can use the mobile network to get your site faster than a normal GPS. Remove "extra" may prevent him from doing it.

  • Impossible to use mobile data.

    This morning I upgraded to 5.1.1 and since then I am unable to use my mobile data. I used them just before I updated and worked, but after the update the phone seems to fail to use the data.

  • Deactivation of mobile data in flight mode.

    Hello.

    I have an iPhone with iOS 9.3.1 6 and I try to turn off mobile data when the phone is in flight mode or with the SIM card removed. No idea how to do it?

    Kind regards

    There is nothing to turn off.  If the device is in airplane mode, all the radio are switched off voltage, therefore no data or voice at all connections.  Similarly, if you remove the SIM card, it cannot be any cellular connection at all, so nothing to turn off in what concerns cellular data (or voice).  With the SIM card, wifi could still be used if there is a network in range.  But with wifi off and the SIM card on, once again, there is no possible connection data of any kind.
