Shared data bucket (32gb plan)...question

So, my bill cycle started over today (05/06) and I got online to check the usage because since I changed my plan to add a tablet on 4/14 and 4/18, it's been nothing but confusing trying to see what has been used...couldn't find a chart that told me the total from all lines...and had to go through each line and add them together to keep up with the total.

 

I'm glad to see that was only a couple weeks that I had to add it up myself, and now it's all under one link "See all shared usage"...

 

But, confusing to me is the number shown on the 3G/4G Data with Mobile Hotspot - 05/06 to 06/05 (shared)..My plan started over this month and moved from 20gb to 32gb....

 

Can anyone tell me why 54gb instead of 32gb?

Our shared data screen is broken on the Sprint website.  Where it breaks it down by line, the usual usage bar indicators are missing.  In the Sprint Zone app, it says we've each used Kilobits of data, yet Sprint's website says we've used 8,851,496KB/ 83,886,080KBand have 13 days left in our billing cycle.  We have 7 lines sharing, one is a Zing WiFi hotspot.

 

I think your issue, as well as mine is due to Sprint getting ready to finish the overhaul of the website.  Give it some time (or a billing cycle) and things should hopefully iron out over time.

Count me in, I'm missing my Shared Usage meter, as well as my Usage breakdown page.

Your total is actually 52GB (1,024kb = 1MB, 1,024MB = 1GB, so 54,525,952kB = 52GB).  Be careful and contact customer care.  When I switched over to the family shared plan when getting a new device for one of the existing lines, they moved only that line to the 20GB plan and kept the other two on the old Everything Family, meaning I was paying for TWO plans.  I had to call them to merge the plans and get everything fixed up. I can't tell from your screenshot if this is the case, but be sure to check to make sure you're only on one plan now and everything moved over correctly.

 

EDIT: I got the new device at a third-party retailer operating as a Sprint store.  Customer Service was more than helpful in fixing it.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
