Data usage gone crazy

[Ringwood]

Hi All,

I was using my phone a lot and got a notice I went over my 4gb plan. It said I  used 7gb. I didn't think I was using it that much, but to avoid the fees, I increased my plan to 10gb. I streamed a video for about 2 hours after that. When I checked again it said I was up to 14gb! I know i didn't use 14gb. It was late and I went to bed. When I checked it in the morning, it was at 8gb. This is where i figured it would have been after the 7gb notice. How would I have got a 14gb notice, only to have it back to where it should be. I am a week away from my billing cycle. How do I know the data usage Verizon is charging me is accurate?

Thanks for any advice.

Did you backdate the change to the beginning of the billing period??? If not, you will have proration overages.

Yes, I chose the option to backdate to the biginning of the billing cycle. It was 10/20/12.

Thanks.

Is there anyway to contest the usage on the bill if in the future I feel there is a problem? Is there a detailed usage report I could review?

Thanks.

You can view your minutes/text/data usage via your on-line MyVerizon account.  Current billing cycle is under Current Usage; previous info. is under View Bills.
