Ever since our self serve accounts were redesigned and launched on July 13th there are more glitches than ever. I activated an account for a referral and had the Sim card overnight until we could meet up and low and behold I recieved the errant data usage texts in quick succession.
Personally I never rely on nor have I ever recieved data usage texts from public mobile. This is mainly from the fact that I have accumulated many free data add ons that far exceed my plan data (250mb). Data usage texts are sent out based on the entire data on your account...both plan and add on data. Instead I set my data management tools to keep track of my data usage. I set my data warning to 25% of my plan data and my data limiter at 50% and reset as needed. If you do the same and once you reset to 75% of plan data you can fairly accurately determine whether or not the data usage texts are real or sent in error. That and checking your account too....of course.

Keep in mind pm uses approximately a 5.3mb buffer that resets nightly or by enabling airplane mode. Pm used to update in two 12 hour blocks shortly after midnight eastern. But now I find these two data usage updates can be time stamped at almost any time of day? Put no credence in their time stamp just that they are showing your usage for the previous day's 24 hours.
