Hi,
i'm looking for a utility to monitor my usage and my remaining free minutes on my contract as well as text messages. is there such a program?
thanks in advance
hmm, it would have to be something which you input how many minutes you have and how many texts you have, as the details of the avaliable minutes are not transmitted over the network. They are held with your provider.
Some (like vodafone) have an online viewer which you can check.
Do a search on these forums for "dktoday" and I think you'll find what you're after.
It is here...

Since the phone register each passed calls, I think it is possible to register total of how many minutes you've used.

Hi,
I have a data flatrate and a flatrate to calll "landline" numbers from my Omnia mobile.
For calls to mobile numbers, I have 60 free minutes included per month. Is there a software (ideally freeware) to count the time of all outgoing calls to mobile numbers per month?
Would be great as mobile calls above the limit are quite expensive.
The tricky bit for the software will be to distinguish "landline" numbers automatically from "mobile" numbers.
I'm located in Germany.
Thanks for your help,

homescreen plusplus
you can see call times,nr.sms and data(internet)
daily and monthly counters on today screen
web site for download:
http://www.chi-tai.info/
that only displays call times, not specific call times like he requested
Joel is right...
Hi,
unfortunately Joel seems right. I need to have summary of all outgoing mobile call times.
Thanks so far,
Franziska
with homescreen plusplus you can see only the outgoing calls,if you need, checking the dedicated box in settings.
On the contrary you cannot count separately the outgoing calls
Hi,
i used the search function but didnt found exactly what i am searching.
What do i actually search?
My father uses an HTC Blackstone (WM6.1) with stock rom. He has 100 inclusive minutes per month in his contract. Unfortunately, there is no prog in stockrom to count this amount of talking.
Is there a tool, which can
- count call times
- differate between normal national calls and international or more expensive calls (service number) (only normal national calls are covered within his contract)
- maybe display the time with a percentage-bar of 100 minutes in a nice way in his stock htc manila interface or maybe in the top bar along with signal strengh, battery power etc?
Thanks a lot for your help,
cmoe
Moved as not software release.
Am wondering if anyone knows an app or way to reset the total phone call timer on a HD2. It would be nice to have an app or method to reset my call timer when my provider billing cycle starts each month, so I can prove they are over-charging me for calls. All the old school phones had this feature, even a way to enter your call rate and have it calculate your call costs for you. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Cannot be done at this time, this one is like an odometer for your phone, it is made so you cannot sell a used phone as new ....
Search, this has been asked many times ....
There are apps that can track your time, or ask your provider if they have a shortcode to tell you your minutes ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675718
just one of many threads on the subject ...
Thanks for the quick response, although not overly helpful it suggests that there must some legal reason why you cannot reset the phone's 'master' call timer (like not being able to reset the km's on your car). I already searched these forums on 'call timer' and other derivatives but found nothing useful, therefore asked. Also, the link you gave advises it is an invalid link? Would anyone else be able to shed some light...surely there's a genius in the community who has written an app for win mo that can track your call time? Appreciate any assistance.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705575
I hope that no one does figure out a way to do it. Most who want a way to do it, want it so they can sell a used phone as new or barely used. They come on forums claiming they just want to be able to track this or that, but most know what they are up to.
Sorry guys - I must need to be clearer.
I don't want to reset the phones master counter. That would be ridiculous.
I want an additional counter that I can control. Just like being able to leave your cars master odometer whilst you reset the tripometer for each short trip you take, so you can see how far you traveled in any day. Surely theres a way to read the call history log and total up the time between 2 given dates? I'm new to mobile programming but can't find a way yet to do this in .NET CF.
Thanks again for the response.
I don't know if it's working on HD2 but i used it on my old kaiser phone.
Phone Dashboard 2.01
its tracking call time / data usage / sms.

That's useful - thanks.
Call history - why are we not shown the length of the calls anywhere?
I've searched but found no app that tells me the length of my calls. All the apps that available (including the default call history in Sense) only show the time you made the call, not the length of the calls. This would be very useful, wouldn't it?
Help anyone?
Thanks.

go to your contacts page in sense
click on your contact.
slide to the last icon that says call history
the duration is there for the individual.
Here's the story.
I got a postpaid agreement on my Samsung Galaxy S which allows me to send 60 sms and call 120 minutes for free but after those 60 sms and 120 mins are used up i have to pay.
So i want to know is there any app for Android which can show me how many minutes i have called total? By this i do not mean that it should should show me the call duration but to show me how many minutes i have called total starting from a specific date.
Hello People!
I've been trying to research whether or not it is possible to set up a SIP account so that I can call my Google Voice number and then using the voice prompt menu in Google Voice gain access to toll free telephone calls.
I want to do this via the Nexus S. Has anyone done this? If so did you make step by step instructions? I'd like to do the same.
Thank you very much!!!!
It is indeed possible, through a combination of Google Voice, SipGate, and SipSorcery. It is not very stable in my experience, however, and it also drains your battery rather quickly because you need to be constantly connected (PBXes does help, but adds one more possible point of failure). I honestly wouldn't recommend it, but I can help you set it up if you really want to try it.
@Some_Person, Thanks for the offer for assistance. I just came across this instruction manual:
http://www.labnol.org/software/get-usa-local-phone-number/18407/
Now when I want to try I can't do it over 3G. Apparently SIP on Nexus S only allows for Wifi....
I'll let you know what happens when I test tomorrow and I certainly will take you up on your offer if this don't work.
Thanks again and I appreciate your response!
... don't you guys think that your operator has been already considered situation like this ? using 2G/3G/4G network to do "online - voice chat" or IP phone call , which will make them loose a lot of money ...
-------------------
to Suomalainen , you are unable to do this in 3G , i think that's probably banned by your operator ... because i have seem experience ...
@Some_Person
I got a IPKall number. I now need a SIP provider that will allow me to place free outgoing & receive free incoming calls.
I guess once I have this then I need to re-edit IPKall with new settings.
BUT can Google Voice be used/edited so that incoming calls are routed to my IPKall number which then are routed to my SIP software?
Alot of the stuff I'm finding on the web simply doesn't work.
Thanks!
@qtwrk- What would you rather have? Money made from the voice side of the business OR money from the data side of the business. With all the apps out there people are burning more data using these apps and this is where the revenue stream is for operators. The voice side of the network is a " just nice to have" for most of them....
but ...
data cost and voice cost are very different
i haven't used any IP call software , so i don't really know (i would image IP call software like skype is very similar), but i do have some online voice chat software (because some of my friend who i want call can just sit before a computer and then we can talk , exactly like phone...) , 1 hour , taking 1 hour only needs 3 - 5 mb
by my current operator
500 mb = 8 euros/moth
talking 60 minutes = establishment 0.15 euros , 0.08 euros per minute
0.15 + 0.08*60 = 4.95 euros , plus 18% of Value added tax
5.84 euros ...
so , 8 euros can allow you talk about 1 hour and 20 minutes , or by using Internet , chatting about 100 hours .
if i were your operator , i would definitely have these applications prohibited
I don't want to take up anymore space with this issue. This thread was suppose to be for getting help setting up SIP on my Nexus S. Please start new thread to voice your opinion.
Thanks!

Have you looked at GrooVe IP? Dunno if it'll fit all your SIP needs but it integrates well with Google Voice outside of the US.
@Slonn- Now this looks like something real interesting. Let me give it a shot and report back how it went. Thanks! Much appreciated!!!

oops
, okay , sorry about changing subject , good luck to you to find what you looking for
I've not tried it myself, but my co-workers GrooveIP+G Voice is the solution you are looking for. It's on sale in the Amazon App Store for $1.99 BTW.
Some complaints I've heard are that service latency is often an issue when on 2g/3g. Should be a good solution on Wifi at the house though I would imagine.
@The Gurgler - This is perfect. Got it installed and it works. This is indeed exactly what I was looking for!!!!
Thanks very much for pointing this app out to me.!!!!
P.S.-Let's just hope google voice to USA remains free next year....
Can i use GrooveIP since i am situated outside of USA ?
@Ibn Saeed - If you read the info about this app via the app market it clearly states that prior to purchasing GrooveIP the user needs to ensure they have a GV # and a gmail account. What this means is that you cannot move forward until you have obtained these two items FIRST. Then when these two pieces are collected you still need to install the plugin for GV into gmail so you got the U.S . dial pad appearing under chat on the left side of gmail window. The instructions say you even need to test it prior to app install and/or download.
Once you have satisfactorily obtained a GV # and a gmail account and did the GV plugin install then you can purchase the GrooveIP app. After that installation is a piece of cake.
I had in the beginning static and echos but then I adjusted the Echo Cancellation and Echo tail settings and things have been working thus far.
Also, you need a good friend to help you test the bluetooth. It works for me but you need to be wary of Mr. Bluetooth's feelings. Sometimes as call is ringing I need to turn it off then back on in order to work.
Also, dial pad is quite similar to the normal dial pad. I could see how one could mistakenly use one over the other.
I also noticed one call in the call log that was recorded as 00:00 long but I spoke for 15 minutes!
I use this over 3G 1MB plan and am amazed how well this works.
Pay attention to Google rate plans. It might be worthwhile having $20 in their account for those calls you might want to use their service when making.
