Congratulations on your first iPhone/Smartphone john45top! I hope its everything you expected and more so far. I can totally appreciate you needing to keep data cost/usage down. Some basic things are your settings. When on Internet, (Safari), if you get prompt to enable location, select No. For e-mails, its best to set to Pull vs. Push. Therefore, you can retrieve e-mails instead of having automatically pushed to your phone. The file size is also important. Its best to select minimum file size when retrieving e-mails. With applications, its best to update over WiFi, (use WiFi whenever possible). When not using applications, be sure to close out. Same with Internet/ Safari. Be sure to close with (X) on top of screen when not in use. Social Media applications, its best to retrieve latest feeds manually instead of automatically. Otherwise, data will be constantly running. You can get all Support for the iPhone 5 at the following link: http://vz.to/WuMpjh

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

There are also options on your verizonwireless account homepage where you can set alerts that would send you a text message alerting you the amount of data you use.

@john45top,

No worries, I can help explain your usage. I know it can be a little difficult to understand the usage.

Whenever you access the Internet, stream music, access certain games or use the hotspot on your device it will use up data from your data allowance. How are you using your phone?

In order to get a better idea of your usage I will need to access your account. Follow me, JohnB_VZW, and send me a direct message with your name, number, and billing password so I can review your account.

You can also visit http://vz.to/15tdms0 to view the great tools we offer to help manage your usage.
