How can I limit data available per device?

[amloakley]

Does anyone know how I can limit the amount of data my children use?  We all have iphone 5s.  Every time I increase, they seem to use more.  It is about to come out of their wallets

It’s important to keep data usage under control, amloakley and I am happy to help. Let’s go over a few details and keep the data usage from increasing any more. I have included details on our Family Base feature here http://vz.to/1PdNmGZ for you. Family Base will allow you to set limits on every line on your account. I have also included a link to our data monitoring tools http://vz.to/2ejFuYh for you to review the usage through your bill cycle.

limit - that's what we want.   Not monitor.  We did not ask how to monitor data.

I think you (Verizon) know this but are ignoring the question and wanting to allow data overage to continue.

There used to be the ability to manager per device as part of the  account, as data management does not always involve children. Did Verizon remove that option? I already reviewed going to the cheapest combination of Unlimited plans and my already rediculous bill would go up 50%. Is there another way to cap the data use on a device that doesn't cost $5/month?

loginname, we definitely understand the importance of being able to monitor and keep an eye on the usage from other lines on the account. We do offer the Just Kids line on the new unlimited plans to help provide data but also to help keep track of them. Have you been informed on these options?
