How to find actual monthly data remaining, only shown visually if bonuses applied

Does anyone know where to find the actual number of data remaining in any given category (monthly/bonus)? Only the total amount of data left is shown, which includes bonuses and monthly.

Given that the only data that rolls over is our monthly data, and the only data we can gift is our monthly data, we need to have more information.

:/

    Unfortunately, there is no more information than the total amount of data remaining.

    In the data tile, click on Usage.

    please read my question again. you haven't addressed it.

    that only shows the total data numerically, and if you have bonuses applied you can't separate monthly from bonus. the monthly data is only shown visually, and I want to find it numerically.

    Maybe I don't understand what you mean by bonus. I can see a seperate section for any type of data I have encountered. Plan allotment, rewards data, one-time perks and gifted. With the first two having separate sections for all three months they are valid in

    the monthly data is only shown visually, and I want to find it numerically.

    So, put a ruler next the data section you are actively using currently. Do you really need it more precise? Then sum up all the data from the sections not yet used and subtract it from the total. Which will get you the remaining data from the active section.

    I guess I should use the work PERK, not bonus. and yes, I do want it more precise than using a ruler. this is easy information that Fizz has, they just don't seem to providing it to us as the system currently exists.

    Your idea of summing up sections doesn't work if more than one section is used. If you activate a perk after your monthly usage starts, you've got two partially used, so two visual indicators and one total number.

    Good evening @gubgub
    Looks like you have your answer from @MobileFizzer_VBMV6 and just don’t like it. :-)
    Fizz is a cheap bare bones provider, just the way I like it.
    Every feature has a built in cost somewhere. Personally I am quite happy with the information provided by Fizz regarding my data use.
    My advice is, change to a provider that gives you more accurate data if that feature is that important to you.
    Cheers,
    Brad

    I know what the OP means.
    Lack of detail is the price of the discount brand.
    My theory is that Fizz doesn't want you to know so you over buy but you can gift excess so I think it's a good trade.

    If you use Linux I wrote a script to ocr the usage report and then you can see the total.

    Hehe, there is a bit of irony in this threat...because what other provider gives you any of these wonderful Fizz features such as

    • free monthly reward data
    • data rollover
    • data transfer to any other customer?

    If you find any, let me know.

    So, we are basically discussing an "issue" here that exists only because Fizz gives you all these flexible data usage options in the first place that no other provider would :smiley:

    Why you need accurate data? you can caculate the approximate value from the data usage.
