Data usage higher than it should be.
I've noticed the same thing. My data usage is absurd and it shouldn't be. I think T-Mobile changed something and they're showing that we're using way more data than we are. Something isn...

These past couple months, TMo has been completely falsifying my data usage. My phone is only reporting 419MB of mobile data usage. Yet, somehow, according to TMo, I used 4.7GB. I can understand small differences in data usage. But TEN times the amount reported? Yeah, ok. what kind of crap is this. In all the years I have been with TMo, never had a problem until these past few months.
T-Mobile claims I used over 100 GB in less than 3 weeks on my T9. There's no way. All I do is watch Netflix now and then, browse and check emails. When I switch over to using my prepaid phone data from a different phone company, I do the same activities and never run out with only 2 GB of data on my plan. It isn't a rogue app or any of that nonsense they claim. Maybe a class action lawsuit will fix the problem. Nobody likes getting ripped off by big companies who know you need the service they offer. It IS crap and pretty stinky at that.
