The directions are somewhat complex. From the My Verizon page goto my bill. On that page there are 3 tabs. Bill Summary, Charge Details and Call, Messages & Data. Click on the Calls Messages and data tab.
That brings you to a page that probably lists all your call. There is a 4 links under the tab. Voice, Messaging, Data, Roaming. Click on data That will give you a list of data transactions. Under the 4 links but above the list of charges there is a download to spreadsheet link. You can also get a spread sheet about calls, text and roaming.
Once you are logged into the my verizon site this link probably gets to the bill page.
A lot of android phones have FM radio tuners in them. All of my phones have had FM radio tuners in them. The latest one Verizon removed the FM tuner app but not the hardware. I had to hunt around to find out how to enable it.
Could be several reasons, for instance my Nokia 625 gobbled c500MB as part of an update from winphone 8 to 8.1.
Location services, along with GPS, generally use an internet service to triangulate your position/traffic flow etc.
Social networking sites will also send out a ‘hello I’m lonely’ call, as may your selected e-mail provider. Think push and pull, push your connection is always active by default, pull means a user activated connection.
It’s in the interest of every 3G/LTE/4G carrier to promote high data usage, bread and butter income. As others have suggested above try and use free, or plan included, WiFi hot spots. Absurd as it sounds some Gas station chains include free WiFi in exchange for a loyalty card.
You can do that with Android too. Settings > Data Usage (on 4.2 and higher anyway). The Facebook app’s most recent update set it to autoplay embedded video so most people’s usage has spiked. You can turn it off in the settings (“Video Auto-play”).
My limited understanding (possibly wrong) is that the FM tuner is actually just temporarily reprogramming the software-controlled radio usually used for Bluetooth.
That, and the fact that the radio needs a longer antenna (and therefore requires a wired headset or earbuds for that reason) seemed to be why you couldn’t listed to the FM tuner application through a Bluetooth audio device.
But even if it’s supported in hardware, you’re right that it’s not apparently a big-enough selling point to support in default wireless-company Android builds. Weird, but then again those same company-tailored OS installs include a lot of “internet radio” and other streamer apps, which can pay the wireless company directly by running up data usage and maybe (speculating here) by kickbacks from the streamer service itself for each new subscriber. So it’d be against the provider’s financial interest in supporting a free alternative.
Every phone I worked on that had FM used a combo-chip for BT/WiFi/FM. We just sent special commands to it to enable the FM path.
You do need a fairly large antenna to get a good FM signal, so most systems use the cable plugged into the headset jack to provide the signal. There is no technical reason you can’t pipe this over Bluetooth, or even play it out the normal speaker. I’ve done it in test software. However, it tends not to make much sense to the end user, having to plug in a headset to get reception, but not use it for audio. So most implementations don’t allow this.
