Short codes, or other method of quickly seeing my account status?

[mig39]

Is there a way to quickly see how much data I have remaining without having to login to the self-service website?  ie:  a certain code I can type in or something like that?

Yes, it would be nice.  But all these could be done easier with an App, but PM has no app and likely won't be one

A shortcode system would be a nice feature to have though, maybe they could be persuaded to add it in the future.

@Anonymous  Thank you for your post. Helpful! I assumed 611 only gave the data add-on limit. I will go correct my post.

 @mig39 : The first reply is correct but incomplete. You'll need your 4 digit PIN to hear it. It will give you the remaining amount of all data buckets on hand as one number.

I would recommend resetting your devices data counter on the evening before each 30-day renewal.

This is easily done under your mobile data or cellular tabs on your device.

Then you'll know for the upcoming 30 day cycle how much data you have consumed.

This option requires no logging in to view any remaining data allotment.

While these apps are OK, they are not official from PM and you will find differences in what you see in app vs what it is on PM site.. Having said that, they might do the work for what you need.

Hi @mig39   Yes, there are ways to check the data usage quick.  With the support of app that can track 30 days cycle as PM uses 30 days

on iPhone:  My Data Manager

on Android:  Data Witness PM or Data Counter Widget

Check it, download one of them and it helps

Ah...yes. I was thinking of built-in data minder. You're right though....I'm sure there's an app for that !!!  😄

@mig39  Unfortunately you would have to log into your account to see data usage. You can see if your phone allows you to set a 30 data usage counter so you don't have to log in. 

Also a PM member made an android app years ago to check data usage via an app. Not sure how good it works or if it even still works as I never tried it. Link below.

EDIT - Also dial 611 as per Z10USER4 post.

Nope, there isn't. You must log in to your account / My Data and Add-ons to view how much data you've used. If there's no mention of any data...you've used it all up until next renewal.

You will get a SMS text when you've reached 75% and 90% consumed.

Any More is Merrier data or other bonus data will get used when plan data is used up...if you have any, that is.
