Mobile Data Disabled

[bam1984]

During the past two days, I have repeatedly gotten a message on my phone saying "You've reached the specified mobile data usage limit; If you re-enable data, you may be charged by the operator."  The thing is, I have unlimited data on my plan - and under my phone's Data Usage settings, there is no mobile data limit set.  Is this happening to anyone else?  It's a HUGE inconvenience, because even when I select "re-enable data", it doesn't always do that and so then I just reboot my phone... only to get the message again.

Saw from another forum where someone had the same issue, so they set their data limit to 100GB or some ridiculous number and that worked.

if you remove sim for about half a minute it usually fixes the problem

I have seen this suggestion in other post on the net.. but removing the Sim i haven't on that one..

I tried popping out my SIM card for a minute, but unfortunately it didn't fix it.  I just set the data limit at 100GB, so no big deal.  I still don't know why it decided I needed this warning all of the sudden, since I hadn't messed with my data settings at all.  Oh well...   Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I saw on another post that several people have had luck w/ doing a factory reset on the phone.  This just started happening to me this morning (it's happened 3 times so far).  I have the Motorola Razr Maxx and also have unlimited data as a carryover from my previous phone.  I've never seen this happen and, when I called the tech support rep, his response was "i've never heard of it...you might try a factory reset." 

I also saw on the same forum the other person was talking about, that some guy set his data limit usage at 35TB to turn it off and he's not had any problems since.  The pain in the butt part is you have to scroll thru the numbers...which are in MB.  And you can't type the amount in.  Can it be more frustrating??

You can just hold/drag and it'll fly...I think I took mine too 500Gb or something lol. It really IS a PITA though if you're on an unlimited plan...

I too am on 'Unlimited' and had mine set real high to avoid the cut off. However, my wifes phone is coming up for renew and I am faced with getting a new plan as a result so I am intentionally setting my data back to around 2G so I can get a handle on using a limited data plan. AND I'm getting used to using WIfI whenever I can. I don't like the prospects but I'm gonna try to be proactive and get prepared.

I'm at 6.8Gb already for the month...I think I was around 20Gb last month but I worked remotely quite a bit and that really pumps it up quickly.

  There are people reporting that they were able to keep their unlimited plan when they upgraded online.. You will have to check that out..
