Why does my LARGE 6GB plan have a limit of 4.000GB?

As you can see in the image below, my PLAN LARGE 6GB show a 4.000GB limit.

See the calculation:  1.879 GB remaining    2.121 GB of 4.000 GB used.

Am I reading this wrong?

Agreed. Calling customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from a landline or *611 from your phone and request the data plan change be backdated to the beginning of the billing cycle is the best way to get the full use of the 6 GB plan for the entire billing cycle. Otherwise you will be guaranteed to be charged overage fees for the two prorated data plan sizes.

I changed the plan today, with a back-date of 4/19.

I only changed from the 3GB plan to the 6GB plan because of a similar problem with the 3GB.

On the 3GB plan it was showing that we used about 2.4GB but it indicated that we were already over the normal usage and were in the Overage 1GB portion.

To verify, 4/19 date is the beginning date of your billing cycle?

No.  4/19 was the date Verizon said I went over my 3GB plan, so I upgraded to the 6GB.  But as you can see even today, 5/2, I have still not even reached 3GB usage.  My billing cycle is 4/9 to 5/9.

You should have backdated to 4/9, first day of your plan.  Then you get the full 6GB for the entire month.  Now it is prorated, and you will still get overage on the first part of the month. You have only used 1.879 since 4/19.  Since you changed 1/3 of the way through your cycle, you only get the 2/3 charge for 6 GB and only 2/3 of the data or 4GB. Your month has essentially been split in 2 and you limit for the first 10 days was only 1GB!!!!! 

Call all and see if you can change the effective date to 4/9 BEFORE the end of this cycle (5/8) as you will not be happy what your bill will look like -- as you will still likely have a $15 overage, maybe even $30 or $45 for the first part of the month!!!! Strong,y suggest you act now.

wallaces3 We definitely want to make sure you get the data you are paying for. Let's figure this out together. I see the notice that you recently changed the plan. If this is the case and the plan was not backdated to the beginning of the cycle you will not get the full 6GB. Is this what happened?
