Tracking Data Usage with Android

[PBRick]

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?

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 !

@Acekiller How much difference?

[Acekiller]

i use the datawitness app but it seems to give different result than the PM page.

Glasswire is a nice looking app with good information also

I agree with using the Data Witness app!

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

Very easy to use after initial setup.

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

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
