After being treated to unlocked iPhone 5s, Verizon customers got another surprise, albeit this time not a good one -- a bug sometimes caused the iPhone 5 to slurp cellular data although it was connected to Wi-Fi.


This was a particularly nasty bug, as it could theoretically rack up expenses on users' data plans without them knowing. There's no room for panic, though, as the issue has now been fixed.

Users are advised to go to iPhone's Settings - General menu, where they can update the device to the latest software version.


To see if everything went OK, check Settings - General - About after restart and scroll down to Carrier, where "Verizon 13.1" should be displayed.
