jnelsoninjax Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My plan only has 500 MB of data each month, and that is usually good, since WiFi is everywhere, but I am wondering if an app or other method to track (reliably) the amount of data being used.

firey Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Well, android has data usage built right in under settings. Could also just check your mobile providers website, they usually have a counter. Jim K, dipsylalapo and +Warwagon 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick H. Supervisor Posted March 8, 2018 Supervisor Share Posted March 8, 2018 I used to use 3G Watchdog, but I haven't used it for a couple of years since switching to an unlimited plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the recommendation, this looks like it might work. Just now, firey said: What isn't accurate? Mines always been spot on... I am running Adguard, which uses a proxy, therefore the data usage is not reported correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't and mines always within 10 mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippleman Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I don't know if they have it in the USA with all cell companies, but here in Canada, each of the carriers have a account app that show you what your account data usage is. Note that it's not real time and behind a couple hours before it gets updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
