Hi. I'm after a data useage limiter with rollover. Does one exist?
What I mean is say I have a 1000mb of data per month, starting on the first day of the month. What I want it for it to limit me to 1000mb/31days=32mb a day. Then if I only use 5mb a day for the first week, then on the 8th day it will let me use (1000-7x5)/(31-7)=40mb a day.

I'm at a loss to understand my data use. I check email every 30 minutes or so, and have the phone configured to download 4K tops. I receive around 25 messages per day, so that is 100K in downloads. I have weather checked every 5 hours, and it records data use, at around 40K per day. T-Mobile says I use 1.5MB per day.
Moreover, when I switched from the Treo to the T-Mobile MDA, my data use went from 50KB per day to 1.5MB, and my behavior is not significantly different.
As I have an unlimited plan, this only matters in roaming, but it matters a lot there, as travel that used to generate $10 in charges is now generating $450.
Any ideas about what might cause such large unnoticed data use?
Like you, I have my Cingular 8125 set to check emails every hour and receive 40 - 50 per day with the full message instead of just the headers. In addition, my weather program updates the forecast and current conditions every 2 hours. I may spend 10 - 15 minutes a day web browsing. When I divided the total data useage on my last bill by the number of days in the billing cycle, it cames out to just over 2mb/day. WOW!! Didn't know how much I was actually using.
However, I also have the Unlimited Data Plan with Cingular, so I don't incur extra charges for it, but 2mb/day seems pretty high to me.
Hey!
While using Smartphones for more than 2 years and beeing a computer-enthusiast I'm pretty much stumped at the moment.
I just got a 350€ phonebill ....
The first thing i did ofc was check my online-bill and see there ->
At 5 different days my handy consumed 500mb each within a few hours .
I didn't use any trafficmonitoring tools since i NEVER(!) topped 200mb. I just used my phone to surf a bit and check for e-mails.
This month i installed Skype. I did NO Phonecalls and chatted for a few hours tops which resulted in horrendous 2 gig traffic (my contract covers 1gb)
Just wanted to tell you guys to take care!
This is why I use 3G Watchdog Pro and APN Droid, because, you just never know
I had a similar problem last year, had a £99 bill which didn't get capped at £45 over like it should.
I'm not sure where to put this and I apologize if it's in the wrong section, but I only see forum sections for specific phones and I have an I535 and others have posted bill questions in their respective phone section.
I had a Verizon rep explain this to me but it sort of went over my head. When increasing the data package during the billing cycle (this is what the rep said), the way it works is they credit me for the full price of the talk/text/data plan that I've had for the duration of the billing cycle so far, then he did some math based on each day in the billing cycle, which I understood, and that equalled how much data I would be allotted for the rest of the billing cycle (what didn't make sense is why they calculate it that way but whatever), and would charge me for the entire billing cycle on the upgraded plan. Thus, I would be charged the difference. This makes no sense to me. Why not charge the difference and label it?
So I looked at my last couple of bills to make more sense of it and I noticed something. On my second to last bill, it shows a credit for the amount of the 4 gb plan, a charge for the 6 gb plan, and a charge for the 6 gb plan a month in advance. The following month (the latest bill) however, I was charged the normal price for everything. So, where the hell did that advance payment go? I've called twice today and been on hold for over an hour both times..I just don't have time to waste on hold. It seems like everytime I call VZW their automated line says they're experiencing unusually high call volume. Maybe if they made more sense out of their billing processes they wouldn't have so many calls. I don't know, I'm ranting. Am I missing something?
Hello i am wondering how can i find the average time i talk to phone every day. Or maybe i can find all my calls day history so i could manually calculate the hours.
I can see from battery usage that i have 2.5 hours but i dont know what that means. Is it from my last charge, last day?
thanks

In the call history there should be lenght of call so you could just add up all calls from that day.
OOOOOR, you could be cool and use this app: QualityTime
Hi, I have a limited data plan. I noticed since I bought the phone is consuming Cellular data even if I don't turn it on.
Like 1mb per day in minimum. But the problem, I think, is the consumption of battery because of that problem... the phone is new and some say that the battery takes a few cycles to adjust...
but anyone experienced this issue? or it's something active by default that does this?
Consider it as date time exchange from server.
You will definitely notice that 1 mb because on signal network phone makes data exchange like automatic time update etc.

But before when I didn't have data plan it wasted money. The mobile carrier told me that I had the mobile data on, which I didn't had.
Well consider as your bad luck then..
