MIFI usage details

Does anyone know if I can see how much downloading a photo takes or how much data takes when I'm on the Net and maybe want to watch Youtube? How much does each one of these processes take from my 5 gig of ser vice? Is there a chart someplace that shows the comparisons? Thanks, Kathy A

I'd like to receive an email in case I don't ever find this thread again, {edited for privacy}

On your account online there is the list. Just not clear on where "hit" generates from or goes to. I go over my 5gigs every month and still not "assured" they are all MY hits!

Another Verizon "creative" charges with no 'backup' or proof.
