In my case, the total shown is always higher than the sum from the detailed history. I only have 250MB (monthly).

Please note that PM update members account twice a day. Around noon and midnight. Generally it is up to date. Just refresh your account after the update.
PM is on a 30 days cycle and your phone app is on a monthly cycle so it won’t matchup.

thank you for all the replies. I have never had data on my phone before since I don't need it. I surf at home but have unlimited so I have never cared to keep track. I was surprised to see how a simple static page( bank) with no video can use so much data

@Stirling182 I also have 1 GB, and its pretty accurate. You may find an occasional "spike" blip, but if you refresh, it will update.

@Stirling182 , generally it should be accurate. Recognize that the usage logs show two amounts of data each day. There does seem to be funky stuff going on at cycle renewal time.
