Monitor web usage

[danceman]

My provider says that I'm passing the month Mb limit (its 100 Mb here in my provider in Portugal) and I say thats its impossible. I only use mail (5kb headers and I get a average of 10 mails, I use my works spam filters and then gmails spam filter), verichat (only on at night, about 1 am its off) and blazer to surf (mostly at night and through googles proxy with Moxy). I don't do radio streaming (pockettunes), no podcast downloads or rss. I turn off the gprs when I'm not using it (the green arrows on top).

Anyone know of app that can monitor my usage so I can prove to them that they are wrong? I did some math and I think I'm not even passing 10 Mb per month. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

By the way, they asked me to go to a provider store to test my phone and sim card, they say that I shouldn't be using a phone that they don't provide. I don't want to use their Windows Mobile or Nokia phones. I've been using Palm seen the Palm IIIx and I still like my 2 year old six fifty.

I have found this app, trafficstat: http://www.normsoft.com/products/palm/trafficstat/

Anyone know a freeware app?

Off topic here, but I too am in Portugal and I am amazed at the lack of support for Palm products with all the carriers in the country.

I used to own a TX and now share a TE2 (sad story) and the lack of carrier profiles on both products makes it impossible to connect to internet through BT and mobile phone. I guess the settings for internet make it possible on a Treo because it is direct to the network, but not one carrier actually sells a palm product.
This has been my only gripe with this beautiful country, and I am now contemplating buying a Symbian device to have services and support guaranteed. This will mean leaving behind a whole load of wonderful Palm software purchased over the years.
(In fact expansys.pt, do actually supply palm products, but it does not fill me with confidence to not find others here.)
Very very sad, but I do not see another option.

When I used my palm IIIx, palm IIIc and Tungsten T I would connect to TMN with the pocket pc configurations. All you need is create a network service (in the pref menu) called GPRS and put the login (tmn) and password (don't remember but i think it was tmnnet) and APN (on TMN its "internet"). In the advance settings put "automatic IP" and Query DNS on. I think other providers its similar but just TMN as the internet flat rate that you pay 7.50 euros per month with 100 Mb limit (after this limit you pay 1 euro per day on use). I think other providers you pay the gprs, 0.002 centimos per byte but with a minimal of 10 kb. With this system and I wasn't using it to much, would pay 22 euros per month.

Next still in the pref menu goto connections and make a new connection, connect to "PC" and Via "bluetooth" or "Infrared" and finally device "look for your phone" (turn on bluetooth on phone). Should work.

By the way went to the store to test the sim card and phone, the sim card checkout ok but when they saw the phone... first they took it to the back of the store, maybe the show it to a specialist, 2 minutes later came back and said that they didn't have the means to test this phone.

Cheers for the heads up on that danceman.

I am with Optimus and they at last have the same data plans as the other two, Vodafone and TMN, so I am sure thay can provide me with the neccessaries :D

Holly crap 100mbs a month, sucks to be you :D

[danceman]

I found a site of my provider it had my kb history, I summed it up and I got 80 mb...So I was right and they were wrong. Later they called me after my many phone calls that I was right.

Have been using my 15 day trial with 2launchme. Cool app. In ten days I'm at 8 Mb.

Interesting this consumption of internet allowance.

I am using a motorola v360 which tells me my usage after each session and a grand total.
I reckon my usage is less than half than the network tells me I have used!

I think a phone call to customer services is about to happen.
