Tracking Data Usage with Android

PBRick — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 23:25:07 GMT

So I'm on the 250MB plan - and using Android 'Data Usage' to track my data. The problem I have is that it only tracks data by the month, but of course I'm on the 30 day plan (like I think most people). Is there any way I can change this to just track 30 day slices?

There is an app called datawitness pm created by a user here. It's a free app. The other app i have used is mydatamanager but it shared your data usage with other parties so I would go with data witness

There are apps like My Data Manager or Data Witness which have customizable tracking periods.

@IWIK is the community member who created this wonderful Data Witness app.

Very easy to use after initial setup.

They will all vary slightly from the PM account page. But Data Witness is as accurate as any of them.

HOLY CRAP. I just checked my account and Data Witness and they both say 2682 mb used. That's after 60 days on a 90 day plan. Can't beat that !
