Over billing is not actually new and it happens all the time to almost everyone.

Without the slightest reservation the average consumer is familiar with the fact they’re being over billed by their cellphone carrier. The most ridiculous aspect of all of this is that most people don’t have to be technically conscious to understand how data is transferred to their smart phone to know they didn’t utilize the amount of data they are being charged for. Unambiguously, with the technological revolution of these new and powerful smart phones, it leaves room for possible abuses to occur. For the laymen consumer unlimited means just what you say, ‘UNLIMITED.’ When you find yourself exceeding 2mb of data usage you are being billed exhorbantly for services that you didn’t have the opportunity to utilize in the first place. There needs to be more regulations in this area by a special overseeing organization if the one in place isn’t adequately protecting consumers from fraud by the big corporate phone carriers…

I have absolutely no doubt the carriers are over charging on data . They base it on tower transmission and not actual delivery. While I suspect their may not be a simple method to count actual data received on a device, it could somehow reconcile itself.

Given data caps, and overage fee’s the FTC and FCC need to insure we are not only getting what is promised in terms of advertised speeds (something they are going to be doing to the wireless carriers) they also need to insure consumers are not getting taken.

This is a shocker…..NOT!!!

I’ve got 2 iPhones on ATT and use the free app “my data mgr” to monitor data consumption. When I compare the app data count to the ATT data count (text *3282#) it is always 3X. ATT shows I am consuming 3X as much data. I’ve verified this by sending myself a 1Mb file and seeing ATT count it as 3Mb.
