Ridiculous amounts of data usage

[garrettfarnum]

So last week I sent 5-6 photos to my friend, my phone was on 12 hours a day for the last week and I noticed slow data speeds. I went to text him today and found out that it hadn't sent. Apparently it had been sending for 12 hours a day for 7 days on 4G. I checked my bill and found out that I actually used 5 GB a day sending that. I usually use 5 GB a month, let's see what happens!

I hope I get a strongly worded letter from sprint just for using 35 GB this month. Haha

Lol I'm sure as long as it's not torrenting and on 4G they won't care. On my services on my Sprint they don't even track my 4G use only my 3G and roaming

I wish we had the ability to see how much 4G we use.. Because I feel like we would see some outrageous numbers.. But then again maybe that's a good thing. But sprint has to be monitoring that right??

I don't know... I know they could if they wanted to... but I don't think they would want to monitor it. 4G at least for Sprint is truly unlimited and encourages full video streaming on their networks. So someone with Netflix alone would have a lot of traffic. Unless they decide to go tier level service for 4G I don't think we have much to worry about.

I know on my EVO 3D for the first 2 weeks I downloaded at least 3 gigs worth due to reinstalling of games over and over. During that time my 3G showed 150 megs of transfer and 18k roaming (forgot to turn it off).
