Vodafone Mobile Broadband - Getting Accurate Billing / Usage Information?

JBGU1
Not applicable
Hi all, sure this has probably been answered before but a quick search revealed nothing.. sorry.

How do I find accurate information on my download usage on mobile broadband, and how often is this information updated? The software gives "approximate" figures and directs me to my online bill for more information - but I can find no detail anywhere in the mobile broadband part of my bill.

Secondly, is usage calculated per calendar month or from the start of the contract? The software would seem to indicate the former but the latter would seem to make more sense to me.

Hi John12345,

Firstly i would like to welcome you to the Vodafone eforum from all of the team. :)

This is a very good question which has been asked a few times in the past bust not to worry its always good to look at once in a while as I personally agree that it is always good to be able to see you usage.

The quickest and best way of keeping up to date with your usage is to register for an online account this will mean that you can look at your unbilled usage for the moneth as well as look at your bills and even pay these bills online at your own convenience.

If you register for My Account this will give you all of this control at your fingertips.

If you have any other questions, give us a shout.

To the mod I am having the same proably as the above customer but your reply has not awnserd the question we want to check to see how much bandwidth we have used to ddate.

I currently have a vodafone Mobile Broadband device which came preloaded with 1GB of data I need to know how much is left. IT used to tell me on my Vodafone Connect software but now it just says register an account. So I have registred by entering in my dongles mobile phone numer but the only balance I can see online is in £ so I dont know how much bandwidth I have used does it say this anywhere?

James - thanks for the welcome. :)

Perhaps it wasn't clear, and as the poster above - I already have an online account (I am also a mobile phone customer). The account page has a nice drop-down box containing the two mobile numbers (my phone and my mobile broadband numbers) but unfortunately there is nothing "at my fingertips" pertaining to the mobile broadband.

Whenever I try and select the "detailed bill" or "unbilled charges" (or indeed whatever I try) it reverts to my mobile phone bill.

"Approximate" figures are really not enough. Much as I like the MB service I have no intention of paying you £15/GB for it if I go over my limit ;)

So I need to have decent track of what's going on.

Hi John12345,

How long have you had your dongle for? The unbilled charges won't show for your dongle until after you've paid your first bill so this might be why it's jumping back to your phone usage instead.

Psheraton - your software should still show you a usage figure in terms of how many Mb you've used for the month - if it's not, then an online account might be the way to go ;)
