I installed a GPRS data counter on my Idiot phone, set the counters @ 10 MB per day.
Suprises!
1). Both uploaded and downloaded data counted. I was under the impression that only downloaded data counts
Both uploaded and downloaded data are counted coz you are charged for both, and the counter is supposed to show you what you are 'consuming'. 2). When you are 3/4 way through the bundle, you recieve a SMS stating that you have already exhausted your bundle, and need to subscribe for more, or something to that effect.
The GPRS data counter alerts you when you hit 75% that your about to reach your limit. You have to know how much data bundle you have when you are setting the limit, coz if you have only 5MB remaining and you set the counter at 10MB, si utapata sms from safcom? amjustsaying...3) an Idiot phone consumes around 2MB per day when left idle. Markyou, without using it for browsing. Keeps updating some background applications.....etc
Deactivate background data on Settings-Accounts & Sync-Background data.
Alternatively, when you dont want to use the net, you can always deactivate data on Settings-Wireless&networks-Mobile networks-Data enabled (deselect).Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
