I am about to begin a new contract with a new operator. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to count SMS and voice calls so that I do not go over my monthly allowance too much. Preferably is there a function to reset the allowance on a given day of the month but firstly be warned that this reset will take place so that you can take a note of the calls and txt’s sent. thanks in advance jd...

Hi
I was looking for a special call timer program. I needed a call time program that seperates weekend minutes and week day minutes. i.e i have 600 any time minutes and 2000 weekend minutes( saturday, sunday and monday) also i needed the program to count my out going messages.
I have searched the forums but cant seem to find a program that will do that.
does any one know if there is a program that can do that.
Thanks
Try phonealarm- www.pocketmax.net
Phone Dashboard
Download the trial version & I can help you figure it out since the instructions are a bit out of date - I'd been in contact with the company via email about setting it up properly.
It doesn't have SMS support at the moment, but since it has free upgrades for life after you pay for it, it doesn't really matter.

And for HTC Diamond?
Hello,
I just bought an HTC Diamond and I'm REALLY FRUSTRATED that it doesn't have a simple function like call timers. I EVERY of my previous phones it was possilbe to see:
Last call: 00:12:22
Incoming calls: 12:43:06
Outgoing calls: 00:19:54
How do I achieve that on a Diamond phone? I downloaded NUMEROUS programs and all of them are today screen plugins and are not visible due to TouchFLO 3D!
Not to mention that the alarm is terrible - can't use mp3s and it repeats only trice! How a hard sleeper can be awaken by that?
And what about stopwatch / countdown timer?
ANY HELP WOULD BE G R E A T L Y appreciated!
A while back ago, I came on here to introduce a new site called Peekamo.com. It is a mobile social network that allows free text messaging.
Up until now, only Canadians got the 100% benefit from peekamo because US users still get charged for incoming text. Therefore we only solved half the problem for our US friends.
I am the lead developer and co-founder of Peekamo and have recently been working on a WM6 version that allows you to use data (wifi, cellular, activesync or bluetooth) to send and receive text messages for absolutely free.
If anyone is interested in helping us beta text this new application please message me or contact us direct by gonig to peekamo.com and using the contact us email.
Peekamo derives it's revenue by placing an ad up to 30 characters at the bottom of each message. However for the period of the beta test mobile app users will receive no advertising as a bonus incentive when receiving messages using the Peekamo mobile client.
A little tech background on the app and what are it's features:
Send/Receive text messages
Update your status message
Search for friends and groups
Multi-recipient texting
Peekamo's what's peekin' (what's going on with your friends feature)
Upload photos from your camera
Upload video from your camera
Look up profiles
Edit your profile
and more as we move forward.
The ultimate goal is to do everything that you can do on Peekamo.com, but on your mobile.
Thank you and hope to capture a few people's interest.

Not to rain on your parade, but all of the US carriers offer unlimited text messaging these days. Cingular just added it, replacing the 3000-per month plan with unlimited. Unlimited messaging is a LOT cheaper than unlimited data, as well..

Can you send text over your wifi connection with Cingular or any other US carrier? You will be able to with Peekamo. Unlimited data plan on Cingular costs 19.99, what would you rather have? Unlimited data or a unlimited text messaging plan?
Peekamo is also going world wide. Does your unlimited plan let you text your friends around the world for free? You unlimited texting plan also does not cover texting to Canada or when roaming.

Sorry everyone,
We've had a little bit of a set back and had to re-optimize data transfer for gprs and 3g connections, primary testing today confirms that we have achieved our target and we are now reading the application for it's release.
The new release date for the Peekamo Mobile Client is Friday. For those of you who have responded already, you will receive instructions and a cab file install to the email you have provided. If you have not created your Peekamo account yet, I suggest you do so right away and familiarize yourself with the service.
We have limited space available now for the first round of beta testing so if you're interested, please reply to us quickly as we expect to run out available spots by tomorrow.
Once again, thanks to everyone who has shown some interest and is willing to help out.
Cheers.

come on man. you're getting cash for eating that spam...so just eat it.
However it can be easily done with message interception.

Hello guys. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 with CM 11 official nightlies. For more than 6 months I know that someone that I know is reading my SMS but I don't know how. Every month when I receive a receipt for my mobile plan via SMS, he is contacting me on facebook(usually) and he tells me: "Hello buddy, do you know that you need to pay your mobile carier XXXXX", where XXXX is the exact amount that I received via SMS a couple of hours earlier. This is realy anoying because I receive confidential information as well as my personal chat. I know that I can go to the police and even sew him but I at least have some decency because he used to be a good friend of mine.
One thing that I can't explain to myself is that I used to use ParanoidAndroid, roughly 3-4 months ago and even tho I changed my Android OS to CM11 with all the neceserry factory and data resets, he still have access to my SMS. He never had access to my phone since the first time he told me what amount I need to pay to my carier.
I would greatly appreciate your help guys. Thanks.
If you've done a full wipe when switching roms, he isn't getting it from your phone. Most likely he knows your credentials to log into whatever carrier you have and is either looking there or has set it up to SMS his number too when you are billed.
Btw, police aren't going to be able to do anything other than contact him and ask him to stop. Without proof he's broken a law, they are pretty limited on what they can do (if you live in the US anyway).
If his location (Sofia) is correct, he is probably in Bulgaria.
Regardless,the first thing I would do is update your account information with your mobile carrier. Change your username, password, and email address if able.
So... Without going into the details...
1) How long does the XL / android retain it's call history?
2) When you swap your SIM into a different android, does the call history transfer to the new phone?
3) Signal Private Messenger specific: I have Signal set up to receive all my (SMS) text messages. If I delete Signal from my phone, are all of my old Signal messages AND the old SMS messages deleted or are the old SMS put into the stock Android messaging app? Any help will be greatly appreciated

1) As far as I know call history should be there forever unless you wipe data
2) Call history won't transfer unless you make a backup on the device then restore on your new phone
3) You need to import messages from signal to your new app not sure if that app supports importing sms, I know signal can import from other apps but other way round not 100%

I'm not worried about importing anything... I just need to know if I delete Signal, will the old SMS that were in Signal be deleted or will they transfer to the stock messaging app
I want details on whats going on? What happened at work?
If you're worried about data on the phone then factory reset the device. But that doesn't mean your employer won't be able to retrieve SMS and call history from the carrier especially if it is a corporate phone controlled by your employer.
In addition to that data the carrier is logging what cell towers the phone was connected to and maybe even location. I know a number of years ago there was a big brew-ha-ha about all the carriers incorporating tracking apps in the phones that collected a lot of data about the phone, what it was used for, etc. Though I think those apps have been eliminated the carrier still logs/records a ton of data about the phone that they collect on their side.

Phone is mine but was confiscated by my employer. It's in airplane mode to protect from a factory reset. I only message inside Signal - including the occasional SMS inside of Signal for the few friends that don't use Signal.
Moral of the story: anything you don't ever want traced back to you, use a throw away burner phone. Carrier can't trace anything to you, no chance of being caught unless you're caught in possession of it.

How does airplane mode prevent factory reset?
If it's your phone, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for your employer to take it from you.

One instance I can think of is if he works on a military installation and had it in a prohibited area. It would be confiscated.
