KD8JBF Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Maybe they like to round up to the Tens of MB when they tick up the data counter...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaryTheLabelGuy Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Not sure if this means anything, but Sprint has a totally different data usage number than I do, as calculated by my phone. Of course, I'm not sure if the phone can be trusted, but what other way is there to track it, other than at the device side or the network side?

Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk I really don't think there is any other way to track it other than what your device says it uses or what Sprint/T-Mo/Etc. tells you....And really how accurate can it be? The phone may miss some data being passed, but is what the carrier is counting as used data really what you've used? Who/What do you trust? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk I use the feature in AVG's widget to have another comparison of how much data I'm using. It seems pretty close to my phone/Sprint's tracker.

S4GRU Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 AT&T tends to count my data usage less every month than Android says I use. As long as AT&T is equal or less, I don't feel concerned. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretton88 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sprint normally comes under or close to my phones report. Verizon however, comes in way under. Verizon often says I've used several hundred mbs less than my phone reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked my Sprint account again and it is dead-on now. Strange. Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
