1 edit |  Cap Question
We all know to well the 5GB cap that Verizon imposes on data card users...but I was wondering if there is a way I can prevent my card from connecting once I reach that cap, so I don't have to worry about getting slammed with overage charges. I'm using it through a desktop and ICS connected to a wireless router, so I can't be monitoring the usage 100% of the time. Anyone have any ideas? |

As far as I know you cannot do as you wish. Can tell you it takes but a few seconds to check into your Verizon account to see what your usage is. |

I don't know about cutting off your connection once you hit your cap, but I use netmeter to monitor all my traffic going out my wireless card. It gives you all kinds of stats including daily and monthly totals. |
