Wrong cellular data usage shown for iPhone 5c?
On the 18th, my bill renewed so my data was set back to 0. However, when I go into settings and look at my cellular usage, it hasn't reset and it's still counting off from last month. It says I'm at 1.6 GB. When I look at My Verizon app though, it did reset and says I'm at 0.191 GB.
Why is it doing this? I have the iPhone 5c and the latest update.
Also, when I bought the phone the salesman said I would receive texts at 50% and 95% of my usage period; but I never received a text at 50%.
10 points to the best answer!

The iphone counter has to be reset, it can't guess when your billing cycle ends, but it's easier just to use your carriers app.
You should use Verizon's app. The setting on your phone is only an estimate as measured by the phone. Verizon's info is what you'll be billed for regardless. There's a place in the settings where you can set your usage cycle on Android phones >> honestly not sure about IOS7.
The salesman *used* to be correct. VZW was receiving a lot of complaints about the number of alerts they were sending out so they made the 50% alert an opt-in >> you can set that through your My Verizon account at vzw.com if you want it turned on. The 75%, 90% & 100% are all automatic though.
- Won't allow battery percentage to be shown on my iPhone 5? So when i go into settings>usage> and click the battery percentage bar, it turns from grey to green. But the battery percentage doesn't show and when i exit settings, go back to settings>usage, the battery bar is grey again! Anyone know what's going on or what i can do?
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- What does reset statistics under cellular usage mean for the iphone 4? I've been trying to clear space on my phone because I have NO space on my phone. I have like 300 pictures and a couple videos on there… But I never really delete my messages or calling history… So is that what "resetting statistics" means? What's the best way to make space on your iphone 4?
- What does Cellular Data Usage Current Period mean? I have an iphone 5c and Unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 6GB of data. In cellular in settings it says Current Period: 8.4GB and Current Period Roaming: 0 bytes, am I going over my bill?!
