I am currently shopping plans for my 16 Pro coming Friday. I am going to dump my $$ VZ plan since I simply don't need unlimited data. But how much do I need? I know how to find my total usage since the last time I reset the data... but I can't remember when that was. Is there a way to find that so I can do a rough monthly usage calculation? Why on earth doesn't iOS capture and present this in more better ways?

Nothing I know of on iOS will do it.

But as @Apple_Robert pointed out, VZ website can provide usage and/or billing statements that have the information. Might have a custom report generator where you can query for usage. On ATT, can get up to 16 months.

Personally, I make a note of it in a spreadsheet at the start of a new billing month. Can then note trends, swizzle the data for max/min/ave, etc.
 
OK, never mind... I found my usage history in the VZ app. The app also popped up a message "thank you for being a loyal customer for 5 years". LOL. Then how's about giving me a cheaper rate... or just the rate you give families getting 4 lines. LOL. I am tired of being discriminated against for currently being a childless dog father.

It would be nice if the iPhone had a toggle option whereby it would reset each month as well as provide monthly and yearly total.

I hear ya but, Verizon and a cheap rate don’t belong in the same sentence. lol I agree with you, though. Singe line or even two line folks should get the 4 line rate as well.
