new to verizon

Loving my Galaxy Nexus and all the awesome features... Really worried about data as my previous carrier and android phone was set to unlimited. I want the verizon app on the phone for easy access to bill, but I am not sure how to get into myverizon. Can someone please help?

Dont know if it is available yet for the Nexus. Check out the Marketplace and see.

Also you can call #DATA to get updated data used. (Usually no more than a day behind and for me less than an hour behind)

Aside for that see if MY DATA MANAGER FREE app is available. This measures data in real time and you can look and see WHAT uses the data. Although I am unlimited, I love this app. If it is DL it, update the program with your billing cycle and what data has been used so far. Then look for the widget for the app and add it to a screen.

I am sorry I wasn't really clear. I appreciate your assistance very much. I guess I should have asked "how do I find a user id and password?" I can check my settings on the phone, but I know it will differ slightly and I just have had everything unlimited so long, I worry how much hotspot I am using and didn't even realize that data is being used even when phone isn't in use.

That's ok. It is very late for me. Do you have the MyVerizon on your Nexus??

Believe me, try the other app. You will like it much more than the MV app for tracking data usage

And yes Droids use data while you are not using it, unless you adjust the device not to sync or update anything.

How much data did you subscribe to??? Was it under the double data promo?

lol. very late, but I have a new phone... HEHE... I don't even have a way to log on to myverizon on the computer... LOL. So I don't have any tracking except my settings right now.

I did go under double promo and I have 6... I did the 2 that doubled and then the $20 for 2 hotspot. Which I understand don't double, but can make any of the 6 "tethered" I felt like I didn't get many questions completely answered. and just kept hearing "yes" and absolutely... LOL

No need to any apps on the Galaxy Nexus. Go to Settings->Data usage (need to have it turned on already), and you can see an approximation of your data usage. It will also show you just how much data each app has used. You can also set it to mirror your billing cycle, so it will reset every month.

Cool! That will help the OP immensely

No need to install, it comes preinstalled on the Galaxy Nexus.

To register for my verizon website, go here to register your mobile phone number and set up your account

https://myaccount.verizonwireless.com/accessmanager/public/controller?action=displayRegistration&goto=

You will be setting up your username/password. Once you have it setup, then go to the myverizon app on the phone and you will need to login there once. It will come up unless you change your password on My Verizon on the web....

Painless to setup, just follow the prompts, pay attention to the information that your given. Should take less than 10 minutes of your time (been a while since I setup my account, so it might take a couple minutes longer than 10, but it doesn't take a lot of time.)
