Data Usage
My data usage was .9 gig. I turned off my cel service on my phoe eand data usage is still going up. There is no way to review your daily usage. Pretty sure you just make the numbers up or at least pad them.

If you have WiFi Calling enabled you may be using some cellular because certain functions like visual voicemail count against your data. Also, note that if you turn off cellular data your visual voicemail usually doesn’t work.

Agreed. My monthly cell usage was 0.4G to 0.7G every month and then I got a message it went to 0.8G and by the next day it was 1.58G.
No explanation. No usage report by day or hour or activity ... just monthly totals that's it. No explanation. Going to see if Ryan Reynolds has a better plan on that company he started.

Go into the mobile network settings, and you can see which apps have been using data in the current and a few previous cycles.
Not sure what you mean by turning off cell service. If you don't want to use data, you need to turn off mobile data.

I am so frustrated with Xfinity. I have literally turned EVERYTHING OFF that uses data and overnight I have 40GB used - WHAT??? I called them to try to get hourly usage reports and the level 2 rep LITERALLY hung up on me!! Level 1 rep proclaimed his awesomeness every 30 seconds (not a hyperbole, he literally said "How can my awesomeness help you with the awesome best service Xfinity). He then tried to tell me I should just get unlimited data. WHAT?? You can't provide me with a detailed accounting of my usage (like the gas, electric and water companies do) but you want to charge me overage. The reps told me all the devices connected to my data - yup they have been for years, so why now is it going up, and ZERO visibility as to why. The connected devices/activity per app thing is a joke. Mine is telling me I was connected for 10 minutes. OK so I used 40GB in 10 minutes on instagram??? really?? a chart with three monthly totals of usage is NOT helpful. If my electricity can provide hourly usage so can Xfinity (which USED TO PROVIDE THIS).

make sure you are not connected to xfinity or xfinitywifi as your wifi device. I believe you get charged for data when connected to these.

I received email about 75% used data allowance .So I cheeked my account and realized how my data usage rapidly going up from month to month.
Can't find history after May 2022 but it is unbelievable grow up each month with regular normal usage for years.In May I had 345 GB than grooved up
100+ GB monthly.
I'm sure this is Xfinity stilling data usage meter made in purpose to get them more profits from customers.
