My in-house system costs me a lot for the quotes I send and I needed help. I got desperate a few days back and someone recommended me Bahaquote mobile application for quick estimates and invoicing. I was amazed at the fact that how any software, which comes 100% free, can accommodate so many features into one giving me more amount of time that otherwise went wasted. No compatibility issues, no hassles and your work is done within minutes. Bahaquote mobile app enables the user to go for flawless quoting and estimate generation, which is quick, and error free. The user can add customer and product data through the mobile application that runs on all brands of Android smart phones. The application is 100% and very quick to download with just 1 Mb of the phone memory required.
The mobile application version of the free quote software facilitates cloud accounting, data transfers, secure access and the ability to send estimates in a single click. This makes the user ready with quotes even when travelling without making the customer wait for product information, estimates or invoices. The user can also view the entire list of invoice already generated and sent to the customer along with full payment information and status of payments made by all the customers. After the quote conversion process, the user can check for estimate approval and convert quotes into professional invoices. The e-mailing of the invoices can be done through the app itself. It is so convenient without any installation hassle.
Download today to enjoy all integrated features, which are 100% free and secure.
These much definitions will definitely work out for any billing or invoicing approach, but you din't provide the link, one link to the same could have been more beneficial. As of now I am working with Replicon for the sake of billing and invoicing purpose, but would definitely like to give a try to Bahaquote.

Dont Know ,not Worth it
Installed it on my xda mini s , after a while saw its trying to connect the gprs.. canceled it .
then it sent 2 text i dont know where lol, i only had it installed for less then 10 hours and it sent 4 texts from my phone using my own PAYG credit :shock:
uninstalled it , and wont try anything like this again lol
My plan has unlimited data, so as long as it doesnt F'up the phone I will try it. Figure already got the NSA checking out my phone logs and calls, etc.. whats one more
At least if they are going to track me I get paid for them being nosy.
Not to mention since I have a HTC Universal in the U.S. maybe it will give some of the companies an idea to actually offer one here that uses EDGE. Being on the bleeding edge of technology it never hurt to help them get new ideas to improve what we got either.

[size=+1]Frequently Asked Questions[/size]
How much do I pay to connect to your system?
Our company also produces and sells a variety of software products, and in the past the system offered now was exclusively used for the sales of our products. According to the data collected based on our sales, we can state that the use of SMS sales increases the overall product sales by 300%. Of course the exact figure may vary depending on a number of factors, but we guarantee that the sales method offered will give you a profit of at least 100%.
How much do I pay to connect to your service.
Connecting to our system is free. Moreover our representatives will assist you in any way possible in getting the system started.
How much is your commission fee?
Our commission fee is only 10% of the profit you make, or 5% of the software cost to the end user.
To illustrate, if the cost of your program is $8 and charges of the cellular service provider are 50% of this amount, our commission fee will amount to only 10% of the $4 you make in profit, or $0.40, so that you receive $3.60.
Do not be upset that charges of cellular service provider may sometimes exceed half of the cost of the program. Keep in mind that dozens of times more of customers prefer to pay through SMS than with a credit card.
How long does it take to get connected?
It takes no more than one business day to get the system started. Sign up and you may be able to start making significant money today!
What you need to do to get connected:
1. Add product parameters (price, key generator etc) to your control panel
2. If needed, install an online key generator for our server
3. Add a Pay by SMS Button to your program. This button launches the activation module.
4. Add the activation module and its configuration file to the program installation.
After the registration, you will be given an access to a step-by-step instructions how to connect.
Why using our software is better than developing your own software?
Developing your own software and connecting and adjusting it to the system may take several man months. To compare, by getting connected to our system, you will begin to generate income practically instantly.
Moreover having developed your own system, you will have to spend time on its maintenance. Why not let us take care of this job? Given that our commission fee is only 5% of the program cost, or 10% of the profit you make, it certainly makes sense to do so.
[size=+1]Key Functionss[/size]

Description of the Program
In a nutshell, this is how the system operates:
Logistics of the software:
1. User will see a dialogue box for the program activation on the device screen
2. User has to press the Activation Button
3. Activation dialogue will appear on the screen, and the user will receive a confirmation of the program activation
Structure of the software:
1. If needed (for example, after the Buy by SMS Button has been pressed, the trial period has ended or an unregistered program has expired), your program will launch the activation module by sending it, through the command line switch, all the data required to generate the key.
2. The activation module will bring up a sales confirmation dialogue, indicating the price effective for the buyer’s country.
3. The activation module will renew price information and if the price has increased, will request an additional confirmation from the buyer.
4. If the user agrees, depending on the program, the activation module will send one or more paid SMS message containing information required to generate the key to the corresponding short numbers.
5. The cellular service provider will withdraw money from client’s account and forward the messages received to our activation server.
6. Having received a sufficient number of SMS messages from the user, our activation server will request the key from your online key generator and forward it in the reply SMS message.
7. Having received the reply SMS message with the key, the activation module will save it, depending on your setting, in the register or the file and notify the program that the key has been received.
8. After your program has received the notification from the activation module, it will read the key from the register or the file (note that notification methods vary depending on the type of the platform).
After the registration is complete, you will receive detailed instructions describing how the system works and how the activation module interacts with your program.
For people who are interested in downloading mobile apps, potentially owning mobile apps, or connecting with programmers to create a mobile app, visit AppsBidder.com.This site features apps that fit all kinds of necessities from bringing people the news to allowing users to play the guitar on their touch screens. Users can also bid on the exclusive ownership rights for apps as aspiring entrepreneurs.
Most people will realize that there are a few components of this service they haven’t analyzed. Below you will begin to comprehend how AppsBidder delivers more than just a platform for downloading free or paid apps.
AppsBidder is a multi-tiered service that creates opportunities for users who have different interest in regards to apps. Any user, app developer, or entrepreneur can use AppsBidder.com to communicate and negotiate deals for creating apps or bidding for app ownership. You will be able to perform several tasks with apps on AppsBidder.com, but in the simplest of terms you are going to be able to bid on the ownership rights for apps designed either for personal or business use on mobile devices.
AppsBidder.com can be understood as a two sided service. Any user can download free or paid apps for their personal use for their mobile advice. AppsBidder requires no sign up fees and apps can be uploaded straight to AppsBidder.com and only when developers make a sale are they charged a 17% commission rate (compared to Google and Apple’s 30% commission rate). Another advantage for developers uploading apps to AppsBidder.com is that they can receive immediate payment from sales with a minimum threshold of only $10.00 compared to Handango’s monthly payment schedule and minimum payout rule of $250.00 per month. Companies or app development teams that are interested in bidding, selling, or developing apps can use AppsBidder.com as their platform. While AppsBidder takes care of certain legal and financial paperwork, users and developers are able to further communicate to negotiate terms on AppsBidder.com.
What this actually means for anyone using this program will be that this is a great way to either download, trade, and/or develop mobile apps. You can either download apps for yourself, or buy the ownership license for certain apps to re-sell to other individuals. Either way, you have several options to choose from on AppsBidder.com.
This is a very brief analysis of what makes this service so unique and why you might care to visit the AppsBidder website. If you were at all curious about some of the finer points of Appsbidder, hopefully you have found some of the answers you were searching for.
Okay, so, I summed up some 5 articles on this subject - in the hope of starting a discussion about device security. I hope you will find this interesting and meaningful and perhaps you will find out about some of the risks of using Android.
2 months ago Juniper Networks, one of the two biggest network equipment manufactures, published a blog post (1) about an intensive research their mobile threat department had on the Android market place.
In essence they analyzed over 1.7 million apps in Google Play, revealing frightening results and prompting a hard reality check for all of us.
One of the worrying findings is that a significant number of applications contain capabilities that could expose sensitive information to 3rd parties. For example, neither Apple nor Google requires apps to ask permission to access some forms of the device ID, or to send it to outsiders. A Wall Street Journal examination (2) of 101 popular Android (and iPhone) apps found that showed that 56 — that's half — of the apps tested transmitted the phone's unique device ID to other companies without users' awareness or consent. 47 apps — again, almost a half — transmitted the phone's location to other companies.
That means that the apps installed in your phone are 50% likely to clandestinely collect and sell information about you without your knowledge nor your consent. For example when you give permission to an app to see your location, most apps don't disclose if they will pass the location to ad companies.
Moving on to more severe Android vulnerabilities. Many applications perform functions not needed for the apps to work — and they do it under the radar! The lack of transparency about who is collecting information and how it is used is a big problem for us.
Juniper warns, that some apps request permission to clandestinely initiate outgoing calls, send SMS messages and use a device camera. An application that can clandestinely initiate a phone call could be used to silently listen to ambient conversations within hearing distance of a mobile device. I am of course talking about the famous and infamous US Navy PlaceRaider (3).
Thankfully the Navy hasn't released this code but who knows if someone hadn't already jumped on the wagon and started making their own pocket sp?. CIO magazine (4) somewhat reassures us though, that the "highly curated nature of [smartphone] application stores makes it far less likely that such an app would "sneak through" and be available for download."
A summary by The Register (5) of the Juniper Networks audit reads that Juniper discovered that free applications are five times more likely to track user location and a whopping 314 percent more likely to access user address books than paid counterparts. 314%!!!
1 in 40 (2.64%) of free apps request permission to send text messages without notifying users, 5.53 per cent of free apps have permission to access the device camera and 6.4 per cent of free apps have permission to clandestinely initiate background calls. Who knows, someone might just be recording you right now, or submitting your photo to some covert database in Czech Republic — without you even knowing that your personal identity is being compromised.
Google, by the way, is the biggest data recipient — so says The Wall Street Journal. Its AdMob, AdSense, Analytics and DoubleClick units collected data from 40% of the apps they audited. Google's main mobile-ad network is AdMob, which lets advertisers target phone users by location, type of device and "demographic data," including gender or age group.
To quote the The Register on the subjec, the issue of mobile app privacy is not new. However Juniper's research is one of the most comprehensive looks at the state of privacy across the entire Google Android application ecosystem. Don't get me wrong. I love using Google's services and I appreciate the positive effect this company has had over how I live my life. However, with a shady reputation like Google's and with it's troubling attitude towards privacy (Google Maps/Earth, Picasa's nonexistent privacy and the list goes on) I sincerely hope that after reading this you will at least think twice before installing any app.

Now I am proposing a discussion. Starting with - do we have the possibility to monitor device activity on the phone? By monitoring device activity, such as outgoing SMSs and phone calls in the background, the camera functions and so on we can tell if our phone is being abused under the radar and against our consent. What do you think?
.
I am finding it sad and troubling but even more so ironic that nobody here cares about this stuff.
Pdroid allows you to tailor your apps and what permissions your device actually allows on a per app basis. Requires some setup, and the GUI is nothing fancy.. but for those worried about permissions, it is quite ideal.
Edit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
Great project, be sure to thank the dev

Okay, so I looked it up, and Pdroid does look like a fantastic solution to control what apps have access to what information on your droid.
However, it doesn't cover monitoring hardware functions such as texts being sent, calls being placed etc. as described in the OP. Besides, it only works in Gingerbread as far as I could gather.
EDIT: looking at PDroid 2.0, it does exactly what I originally asked

I actually first found out about it on an ics rom, so it's definitely not just gb. As for monitoring, no clue. Any sort of extra process logging would likely bog down resources or space eventually.

I definitely wouldn't know. This solution looks very complicated in first impression but on the Google play page it says 100% no performance effects.
Anyway, I looked up PDroid 2.0 here on XDA, which is the rightful successor of the original app. It does everything the original app does and also monitors many device activities! Here is the full list of features. I would add a working link but I'm still a n00b and I am restricted from doing so. Sigh....
forum.xda-developers com/showthread.php?t=1923576
PDroid 2.0 allows blocking access for any installed application to the following data separately:
Device ID (IMEI/MEID/ESN)
Subscriber ID (IMSI)
SIM serial (ICCID)
Phone and mailbox number
Incoming call number
Outgoing call number
GPS location
Network location
List of accounts (including your google e-mail address)
Account auth tokens
Contacts
Call logs
Calendar
SMS
MMS
Browser bookmarks and history
System logs
SIM info (operator, country)
Network info (operator, country)
IP Tables(until now only for Java process)
Android ID
Call Phone
Send SMS
Send MMS
Record Audio
Access Camera
Force online state (fake online state to permanent online)
Wifi Info
ICC Access (integrated circuit-card access, for reading/writing sms on ICC)
Switch network state (e.g. mobile network)
Switch Wifi State
Start on Boot (prevents that application gets the INTENT_BOOT_COMPLETE Broadcast)
I've always had the luxury of someone else integrating it into the Rom, then I just had to set it up through the app. It is time-consuming, but not very difficult at all. I say give it a shot and see if that's what you had in mind. Maybe the logging is less detrimental than I had previously thought.
I'm sure you could get your post count up by asking for some tips in that thread. Every forum on xda has at least one person that's EXCESSIVELY helpful, frequently more. So have a ball

New Relic is currently incentivizing new customers with three free months of Code School classes. But really, the bribe shouldn’t be necessary. We know, this sounds like the type of hyped-up pitch you might hear on a bad infomercial, but here at XDA, New Relic APM has completely revolutionized our ability to debug application processes, allowing us to speed up the site while reducing server costs. When they wanted to sponsor the site this month, we were thrilled to promote a product that we both know and use (we are very happy paying customers and have been for years). We’ve explored all options for monitoring site performance, but nothing comes close to the insight we gain from New Relic. Every web developer and mobile app developer should at least consider using New Relic. The company offers free trials and lite versions that are free-for-life on both its web app and mobile products, so there’s no reason not to.
XDA has a complex, layered infrastructure with html front-end caching, data store caching via Memcache and APC, and of course, a large database. When the site occasionally slowed down, it was impossible to determine why. On our local and staging development environments, we were able to trace application processes to determine hangups, but when working at scale, serving live pages to millions of users, we couldn’t get the same insight. After installing New Relic’s PHP plugin (they have plugins for just about every application server type), we instantly gained the ability to dig deeper into the application server processes to see where bottlenecks were occurring. The New Relic plugin software allows us to trace all the way back through the application to explore specific functions and database queries and see exactly how long they are taking to execute. We have even been able to use New Relic to assist third-party application developers to optimize their apps to work better on our servers.
Over the past few years as customers, we’ve watched New Relic launch an entire suite of products related to code-level monitoring of application performance. Specifically for mobile app developers, New Relic Mobile provides similar code-level diagnostics as the web app product. You can identify poor code paths; track CPU, memory, and database usage metrics; monitor interactions with external services and APIs; and get insight as to whether performance is being impacted disproportionately in specific geographies or on specific carriers. For a monitoring product that is used by many of the largest apps in the world, the “pro” level pricing is very reasonable ($29 per app per month), and even the free “lite” version still provides significant value.
Developers often come to us needing help debugging slow processes, and we almost always recommend installing New Relic to trace hard-to-find bottlenecks in both web and mobile applications. And today, we’re publicly making that same recommendation to you. Try it out for free. Deploy and get three free months of Code School.
