The cellular network vs WiFi issue does not appear to be limited to either Verizon, nor the iPhone 5.
My iPhone 4 with AT&T is showing nearly 3 GB of overage - which is the first time I’ve gone over in a year. Similar reports of 4s iPhones with AT&T as well.
Wonder if AT&T will do the right thing, like Verizon, and forgive this overage? I’d bet money that they won’t.
As a side note - I’ve also noticed that the tethering functionality is ‘flaky’. Works, but every day or two I need to re-boot my iPhone 4 to restore hotspot functionality. I could go without re-booting my iPhone 4 for extensive periods of time, without any similar hiccups.
Just waiting to start my new job and get the first paycheck, before I get my iPhone 5. Debating between 32 or 64 Gig. Making the hop to Verizon, because coverage with AT&T is horrible - and AT&T obviously has zero interest in addressing this issue.
Strange. My iPhone 4s with iOS 6 is not. I am waiting for my 16GB iPhone 5. I ordered mine the morning after the release. . . about six hours late. Should ship on the 6th of October. I ordered the 16G because I have the 64GB New iPad and use it for most things that need large data storage and use the cloud for most data storage. . . ergo, my phone doesn't need to have large capacity. I have my iPhone 4s already sold for $250. I just need to deliver it when the 5 comes in.
