I wish people will get their facts straight. There is a 5gb cap and its in the TOS which is posted above. This apply whether you teather or not. People stop spreading false information. Especially to the people who supposedly work for Verizon. If you go over 5gb your **** will be turned off and charged a termination fee. Or they will charge you overage fees.

Hi,

Irrespective of whether there is a cap or not, which is being disputed, is there a way to monitor data usage ?

Thanks

What Verizon is saying is this:

If you are go above the 5gb per month and VZW determined that you are tethering without a tethering plan then they have the right to cut your service.

So if you are just using your bb for streaming audio or any of those kinds of activities; those activities are not covered by this TOS.

The statement above is just a legal way of saying that if you use more than 5gb per month; we will look at your account to see if you are doing something we don't approve and if you are; we cut your service.

according to our overage tool, if you have an aircard with actual 5gb plan and use 10gb's you will have $X in overage. if you have either bb data plan ($29.99 or $44.99) and use 10gb there is ZERO overage cost.

so there is no amount in data that you can use that will COST you more. however if you are just going crazy in data (5GB) and "abusing" the network, vzw will notify you and ask you to cut it down some. they wont ever charge, and wont cut off service unless you ignore the notice and continue extremely high usage. if they do cut you off after 3 months of consistent high usage (which is the cut point) they do not charge an etf.

as an additional note, TIME is never an amount charged unless you are streaming (constant use of data). you can leave it dormant for 100hrs and have no affect on usage (except for the occasional 25kb BB ping)...this goes for air cards too.

No that is not what that says.... Stop adding crap to what it really says. Its specifically says if you go over 5gb of data Verizon has the right to assume you are using the data in inappropriate ways...

Its damn near impossible to go over 5gb of data on a bb unless you are streaming music, streaming videos, p2p or tethering. All of which are breaking the TOS. Point blank period dot com. You damn sure isnt going to go over 5gb browsing crackberry.com . The fact remains if you go over 5gb of data your **** will get terminated or you would be charged overage fees. They dont need to look at your account to know you are doing something wrong if you are using 15 gb a month.

There's a 5gb cap.
I know, because I hit 4.5gb's and I got a call from Verizon. Haha.

EDIT: I don't stream anything either.
Sometimes my internet doesn't work for my Macbook, so I'll just use the phone.
Oh well.

The data plans for bb/pda is truly unlimited. I know someone who does 6gb on her bb alone, consistantly and she's not using it illegally. You're are limited if you use your device to tether. That is where the 5gb comes into play.

I so agree with the bolded. :lol:

I work in customer service/tech at vzw. There are no limitations on data usage. No one has ever gone over any "ceiling" for blackberry. I see thousands of customers a month, my store is in a wealthy part of a financial town, and all we sell are blackberries.

There has never been an issue with a customer being charged for overage, and there is no cap on just the blackberry. Don't agree with me, fine, but we do not charge overage for data use on a $29.99 or $44.99 package. No shenanigans

Thanks for getting the correct info from the source. I have been trying to find out if its unlimited or not.

The long and short is this Tethering or Data Card 5gb cap. BB use only unlimited.

jlangleyrn · #58 10-12-2009, 09:06 AM

OK, it seems that it must be OK to tether as long as you don't go nuts and back up your hard drive to an online server, upload 1000 pictures to Kodak (which I need to find out how to do from my SD card if possble in my phone) download multiple movies, etc. I am torn of tethering, I hate my satellite internet and am running on 7 day trial of Tetherberry and have fell in love with the speed, seems that I just will need to watch out for going over board. Thanks for the clarity on the situation, lol
