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.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
