Data Usage Issue

I have recently recieved a text saying I used 95% of my data. However, thats not possible since my data reset just the other day. As well as I am unable to see how data usage when I log onto my Public Mobile account to check it. Its not avaible for me and others in my community have not had this issue. However, they do have the 95% data usage text messages that do not make sense when they have only used %50. Needless to say besides those two issues for myself and in my public mobile community. My data will not work at all today without wifi.

@srlawren  thanks for expanding on the 3g issue.  I didn't go into details because i was not sure what data plan the orriginal poster has.

 

I guess this is another one to add to the list, behind the password reset that was/wasn't recently fixed. 🙂

@paullacinnik as @mimmo alluded to, there is a bug that affects people on a 3G-speed data plan (see here if you're not sure if your plan is a 3G plan or not).  The bug is that when your plan renews, your data amount does not properly reset to zero.  The bad news is, more than 3 months later, this bug hasn't been fixed.  The good news is, there is a workaround.  Send a private message to the @CS_Agent, let them know your 3G data plan didn't reset upon renewal, and they can manually reset it for you.

hi are you on a 3g plan?  there were some issues with the data resetting on those plans.

 

what does your usage history on youe phone say  did a update take place over data instead of wifi?
