Can anyone tell me if streaming music from Pandora, Spotify, etc. counts towards data usage?  I assume it does.

Yes you are correct.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

just to add for Pandora on cellular the default bitrate is 64 kbps but you can increase it to 128 kbps. If you have the Premium service the bitrate is 192 kbps though I am sure you can lower that if need be.

64 kbps = 28 MB per hour. 1 hour per day = 840 MB per month

128 kbps = 56 MB per hour. 1 hour per day = 1.6 GB per month

192 kbps = 84 MB per hour 1 hour per day = 2.5 GB per month

Spotify has 3 settings for mobile Normal which is  96 kbps, High which is 160 kbps and  Premium which is 320 kbps

90 kbps = 40 MB per hour. 1 hour per day = 1.2 GB per month

160 kbps = 70 MB per hour. 1 hour per day = 2.1 GB per month

320 kbps =140 MB per hour. 1 hour per day = 4.2 GB per month
