Using Data monitor
Use the Data monitor to keep track of the amount of data your phone sends and
receives. This application tracks the approximate data traffic over 2G/3G networks from
a predefined start day. The values are reset monthly. For example, if the start day is set
to 15, the data traffic counter is reset on the 15th day of every month. The first time you
start the Data monitor, the start day is set to 1.
Get the Data monitor to alert you when the amount of transferred data reaches a certain
limit. You can set limits separately for sent data, received data and total data. You can
also activate the Data monitor as a widget on the Home screen.
Data amounts indicated are approximate. Please consult your service provider to verify actual
data usage.
Data sent or received over Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth™ connections is not tracked.
