Hello,
I was checking my three accounts and realized that my wife's account is missing the 500 Mb + 500 Mb addon which is part of the $25.00 plan.
So because off this the system is using instead her 1GB Promo and 0 Free Holiday Giveaway: 1GB Add-on that we had not used before but keeping on the side in case we need it.
Who should I contact for this? I can't put the phone in plain public view.
Solved! Go to Solution.

With a data add-on such as the holiday 1GB promo, you will not get the usual alerts at 75%, 90% of your base plan data allotment, only once the add-on reaches those thresholds. This makes it easier to not realize when you've used up your base plan allotment...

Are you sure you did not use up all the data last month and this data usage was not from the previous month's use?

OK after verifying it is possible that mobile data had remained active while wi-fi was off.
Thanks to everyone who took time to answer

@Kitos To see your data usage best to check your phone built-in data usage stats so that you can figure out pretty quickly if and where the data was used up. Just make sure the start date is set to be your plan's start date.

Some phones have a setting to flip to cell data when wifi is weak.
There have been sporadic reports of data not being renewed. Add up all your data usage lines in the self-serve from your renewal date to present to verify data usage. It's the upper usage link in the plan details area.

@Kitos 1 GB can be used up fairly quickly accessing photos from the cloud, watching videos, performing device upgrades etc. More info on how to manage your data can be found here:

Check mobile data usage on her phone settings.
1 GB can be consumed pretty quick if the phone is permitted to use mobile data without any limitations.

@Kitos When that information is missing from your selfserve landing page it means that the data was used up and that is why it's currently using the promo data.

Perhaps your wife consumed all her plan data. When did that account last renew?
