I've had my Captivate for a few days now. One thing that i'm concerned with is my data usage. I started out with the 200 mb/month. Is there an app that will tell me how close I am to my monthly limit? An app that will tell me usage statistics and such?

I'd like to know exactly what at&t is going to charge me with, but this will work.

It would be great to have a widget or count in the notification bar. Logged This captivating msg was sent from the galaxy. Punisher I see and know all!

It would be great to have a widget or count in the notification bar. The contact "AT&T View My Data Usage" will send you a text and tell you not only your MB usage but your message count as well.  It does not distinguish the difference between texts and MMS. Example: Next Bill Cycle:  11/23/2010 Data (MB): 100.6 of 200 Messaging: 507 of Unlimited Logged Maybe I should put something witty here! nomoiphone Newbie Karma: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 8 iblender Re: Data Usage/Monitoring « Reply #8 on: November 01, 2010, 06:36:16 PM » Quote from: MommehK on November 01, 2010, 06:32:39 PM The contact "AT&T View My Data Usage" will send you a text... Thanx...Not what I want but faster than the AT&T app! Edit - I have an unlimited data plan but only pay for the 200 text msg plan...Wish they through it in and charged for larger text plans. Google Talk is a great way around it tho. I'm done hijacking. « Last Edit: November 01, 2010, 07:10:13 PM by nomoiphone » Logged MrNiceGuy26 Newbie Karma: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 4 Re: Data Usage/Monitoring « Reply #9 on: November 02, 2010, 05:39:18 PM » Thanks to your help and advice, I was able to monitor my data usage and upgrade my data plan before I plowed right through my 200 mb limit in under a week. Yeah, I'm sort of a data junkie. Logged MommehK I came from Mars! :p Administrator Karma: +13/-1 Offline Posts: 1238 Old enough to know better, too tired to care...
