Verizon LTE Data Meter

No, VZW disabled the meter about a week ago as that makes it easier to f--k the consumer, as now we have no real-time meter of how much data we've used, so it's now easier to get hit by VZW's high-priced overages.

No they didn't and take your tin foil hate off. Verizon is fixing the widget since the share plans weren't made for it. An updated version should be coming out.

nfgbrian, if you log into your account or the app it should show you the correct data usage still for that device. Depending on your phone you could put that to a share plan and not have to use the jetpack.

I do this with my Android device, just enable the hotspot and I can have up 8 or 10 devices use the phone as a hotspot.

Verizon only offers LTE out where I live. No cdma. Im with us cellular for phone service or else I would switch in a heart beat. Funny when I log into my account it stills shows I've used all my data. It was working correctly until I switched plans and up until then I'd only used 200mb. immediately after I switched it went up to 10230mb. Guess ill give it time to update.

If you just changed it does take a few days to update. Check it on Friday and if nothing call into support.

reply to kcrudup
Because it's the same app so it has to be updated for all. As I stated you can login right now and check your usage with the app itself.

The share everything isn't for everyone but for families with alot of lines/devices or businesses it does save money.

Im not sure I have a way to access the app. I use a windows phone and don't have access to an android or iPhone. Unless there is a program for mac OSX I can use, then I am stuck with the my Verizon website. At least its prepaid and I shouldn't be able to go over.

I don't think a windows mobile has an app yet for it.

The web site gives the same info as the app does. Like I said give it till tomorrow and if not call in. Also I think you can hit #DATA on your phone and it'll send you a free text message with data used the up to the day before you ask for it.

Still no go on the data meter. I don't have a verizon phone so I can only view the meter on the website. I'll call monday. I've been using a bit of data, would nice to see it reflected online so I know how much I have left. Can't really afford another 90 dollars this month...

reply to nfgbrian
Is anyone else having issues with the data meter? I just renewed on the 10GB plan and the meter is still showing I've used 10230 out of 10240MB used. I had the same problem last month and I was not able to track my useage. Luckily I did not go over, but I have no idea if I even came close to using 10 gigabytes. I figure I'll give them a call if no one else is having this issue, but I just want to make sure its not a known problem before I waste my time.

Thanks!

All of our phones are working. Sounds like an issue with your account.

reply to nfgbrian
OK, It seems like he isn't having a issue with his Phone\APP at all. It is only the website.

When I logged into my account (WEB) it showed:

0.047GB of 4.000GB

Which is about correct for me.

So I ask if anyone:

1: Switched to the 10GB (or any other) plan in the middle of a cycle and had this problem.

OR

2: Has a 10GB plan and are seeing the same thing.

reply to nfgbrian
Yeah I don't have a verizon wireless phone so there is no way I can check from the app. I can only view my data through the website. It worked when I had the 3GB plan for half a day and then since I've switched it says I'm maxed out the minute after I top up. This is a prepaid account so I'm unable to go over.

I wonder if its a glitch with the prepaid and the fact that it's not a phone.

I'd call into them, pointing towards a system issue.

I think he should keep that tin hat on becuase of what I have seen and then read on verizon's forum's about data use/reporting.

If it was "just needing a update" again then ware is it.

I have no problem on the data share plan I'm on. I've talked to others as well with no problem.

You said they just need to update the data use wig, but I have not seen it. When are they going to bring back auto data useage update?

Never, becuase they want to mess you over.

I would go to t-moblie before I would ever eat $50 per 1GB plan.

That's all I have to say about it.

They did. The app for Android widget has been out for awhile.

I can see my data usage on my phone and my account with no problem.

I was talking about AUTO UPDATING DATA USE. Not the click wait 1 min or 2 just to see your data use.

Any way, I am just glad I have unlimited data so I don't need to care about data use.
