Data tracking only showing data used

Hello. My Fido app updated recently and the new updated version changed how data is displayed. It now says 700 used but it doesn't tell me if that's out of the data I already have or if that's over my data. The previous set up was easier to understand . Can someone tell me if I'm over or under my 2 G of data

The current data tracking display is not convenient and friendly. I definitely know how to do the calculation, but it could have a chance I or my other subscribers forgot how's the plan. If it's an issue, to be fix, then I would be okay to wait. If not, I would recommend to indicate back the remaining data allowance. Thank you

Hey @NLC9

 

We know how important it is to be able to track your usage conveniently and this isn't the normal display for the app. We're aware of it and our technicians are currently working on getting it fixed asap! In the meantime, you should be able to track your usage normally on your online account on fido.ca directly or by calling *3337.

 

You can check out the solution of this thread for all the details.

 

Hope this helps!

For for the past 5 days, the cell phone app to see data usage is not available. Any idea if that is a Fido issue? 

Hey @sally5! I hope your doing well. Smiley

Data usage, i have no idea what is going on, there is only 5 days till my cycle resets. I did not change my plan or anything similar, just checked and saw this. Is this affect my current usage and bill of the next month? Am I charged for using data these days?? Thank you!

Hey @hannahgirl and hey @jgrsnts and @Jerome1983 (I merged your posts with hannahgirl's as it's related to the same subject)!

 

We're aware that some of our customers are experiencing this when attempting to track their data use through the My Account app and we're working on getting it fixed as fast as we can. 

 

In the meantime, I can confirm that, as long as the app is displaying that you have used less than the amount of data that comes with your plan, then you have not yet gone over your allotted data. 

 

In terms of knowing how much data you have remaining, you can simply substract the amount you've used from the amount in your plan. A GB contains 1024 MB, so, for example, for a plan that comes with 2 GB, you would have up to 2048 MB available to use. If you subtract 700 MB from that, you will have 1348 MB remaining.  

 

You can also track your data by dialing *3337 from your Fido phone, as well as on Fido.ca.

 

Hope this helps!

Hey *3337 doesnt work for me i dont have unlimited gigs and honestly have no idea how they charge youre data . The app does that work for me . Real time data ! That is what the app is for... my billing cycle starts in almost 3 weeks so if i cant c my usage i shouldnt b responsible of the charges.???? 

Ps thank u fidoamanda Smiley

Hey @Jerome1983

 

We're working on having this resolved as quickly as we can. We send you messages prior to you exceeding the amount to give you a heads up. If you go over the amount of data included in the plan, it would still be considered legitimate overages.

 

The information to track your usage should also be available through *3337, can you clarify what you mean by it not working for you?

It says there was changes to my acound and unable to help me. There was no changes!!! To my account!!!

Hey @Jerome1983!

 

This is also something that can happen in this scenario. However if you're not able to look at your data usage in any way, I would have to recommend you to count your data usage manually. There are a lot of data manager apps that would be able to measure exactly how much data you are using at any time, as well as build reports on your consumption for free.

 

I hope this helps!

Hello team, I am experiencing the same usage issues listed above. The Fido app is unable to display my current usage. If I log into Fido.ca, I can see data used only. I’m glad to see I am not the only one experiencing this issue. Thanks Fido Forum!

I tried checking my data usage using the app on my iphone, but it says that details are not available. It also says that the reason for this is because changes were made to my plan. On my account in the fido website, it says that the information will not be available until the next billing cycle? Why did this happen? I have not made any changes to my account.
