Hi i've got my diamond for a few days an now my mobile bill explode, because i've opened googlemaps application, wich dowloads in 10 min. ca. 5 mb mapsmaterials. So my bill is going huge.....I thought, that my Diamond will aks me, when it use the mobile service to connect to the i-net. But it did'nt, so i need held.
I'm looking for a program, which ask me everytime when my mobilephone will connect to the i-net with the mobileconnection, if i want this or not....or better which way to connect it should use(when WiFi is aviable)???
So does anybody know of a program like this....or could write it...?
looking forward
Carriers always like that because you get billed without knowing it. Use Modaco Nodata to block internet usage. Call the carrier and say you didn't know and they will probably let you go this one time.
Just install diamond tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540
There is a setting to turn your mobile internet on and off as you please.
Hey guys
i use this internet page since last week and i know a lot more about my diamond and have found a lot of great applications...this forum is great...
and thank you for your great and fast answers and the great tipps...
i think i love this forum.....
or use spb gprs monitor to monitor your data usage. great application which enables u to get reports on how much you've used every day/week/month, and alerts when you've use more than an amount of data you have specified. You can also enter the rate at which you are being charged per MB (or per month if u have a fixed allowance) and it will tell you the cost of what you've used.
I have used it for the past three years - it does not cost much and it is a great investment.
Ohh okay... ithink i will test it..in time i use diamond tweaks great tool but i would like it if my mobile connection is turned off and if any programm will start the connection, a tool ask me which connection should be used (wifi or mobile) and i have to click okay when only my mobile is aviable...does anybody know of an Programm like this...?
Diamond tweaks have the problem that u have to turn it on and off how you need it, so you have to start the Programm every time.............................not so comfortable
Does your carrier have an unlimited data package? That would solve everything...
or get an unlimited data package from your service provider and then you dont need to worry...
that's sounds nice but i'm student and not millionaire........
I think that it's a murder to buy a device like Diamond without having at least a small dataplan. It's a very web oriented device, so go to look a volume data plan...even small...you will enjoy much more. Find a little job and go for a dataplan
I pay €9,95 a month to get unlimited internet access. It'd take me 100503 months, or 8375 years, to pay a million for unlimited internet. Somehow, I don't think I'm gonna make that...
*cut* dang, double post :S
use monaco nodata software
Going to Norway, Sweden and Finland for about a month. Plan on using the Tilt for GPS navigation using tomtom.
I got a plan put on my phone that gives me 20MB per month roaming data internationally. After that it's a total screwjob in Scandinavia at about $20 per additional mb.
SO . . . I'm looking for:
1. recommendations for an unobtrusive cab that will allow me to track my total data usage out of my Tilt so that I can avoid overages (freeware would be nice, but not required). Have SPB MS 2.1 & SPB PP 4.0
2. way to make sure various little polling cabs are not sucking up bandwidth (w/o hunting down and uninstalling everyone). Can I do something to my data connection but still use GPS for tom tom?
3. What kind of data usage am I likely to see trying to use tomtom for GPS? Will probably drive about 2500km in 7 days using it most of the driving time if possible. I know using google maps or WinMo live search would blow me out of the water.
Thanks for the input!

Data monitoring:
Battery Status, Spb GPRS Monitor, ... both are great, Battery status has also some other useful options
Dont know for sure, but I think tomtom is not using data connection, so u can use your gps without data plan. Just download (purchase) maps of the countries u are going through and u can use gps.
3) For simple navigation with tomtom, you don't need any data connection because te use of gps data is free for everyone.
You need a connection only for the optional services like traffic, mapshare, meteo, etc. but not for basic navigation
You can also use Schaps AdvConfig or the previous Kaiser Tweak to completely disable data connections, and then only enable them when you want access. It might take an extra 15 seconds before you start browsing each time, but at least the data blocking is foolproof enough.
Is there an application you know that keeps track of minutes and sms, .. you know .. just to be sure to keep the use within the phone plan we have.
I had on the Prophet an utility called Smaato Cost, but it seems not working on the Diamond. Everytime it's turned on it recognizes the SIM as a new SIM ...
Anyone knows of another application ?
Thanks so much.
LCMinutes is a valid program and it's free.
just tried it, doesn't cut it for me. the setup is far too complicated.
my contract is quite simple, 50 minutes and 150 sms included, 24h day 1 rate, each exceeding minute / sms 0,19 cent. data costs 9 cent /minute. 15 € base price, thats it.
is there any other software, without the need for a today plugin (TF3D wouldn't be usable), that could monitor this for me?
How can I see how long my last call was?
How mych data was downloaded when I was on the Net
Is there a program where I can use this data and type it each price and then it tells me how big my invoice is at everytime? Think I have seen something like this before...
Your call log will indicate your minutes usage in your calls, for data use a program such as SPB GPRS (now known as SPB Wireless) Monitor. It is a paid software, but 30 days trial and totally worth it if you dont have an unlimited plan.
There is a place to specify your data plan's inclusive MB's, and cost per kb/mb in overage, and if you are doing data pay per use (no plan) you just input your $/kb, and your billing cycle.
I have used this as long as i have had my windows mobile device, and will continue to use it probably forever

This is the link on the developer's website with a little video.
The Three network is offering free access to Windows Live Messenger on their handsets, and I'm considering switching to them on PAYG.
I'm curious as to whether this will be possible on the HTC Touch Diamond. Will the pre-loaded Windows Live Messenger application on the Diamond be accessible for free, or would standard data charges apply (as it is not a 3 branded version of the messenger app)?
I contacted Three, but they simply stated the device would not work on their network, despite the fact many people use it on 3, and the settings for the network are also pre-loaded onto the device.
Is anyone able to shed any light onto the matter?
Thanks in advance for any replies,
David.
If I remember correctly, the app used by 3 is different to the official messenger app. So using the normal app would likely cause data charges.
*Update* Scrap that, it appears it may work as microsoft says that messenger use is free http://windowsliveformobile.com/en-gb/3/default.aspx
I guess it's a matter of trying it and seeing what happens
I am also looking at 3uk payg at the moment.
To use msn for free you need to use their special app which won't run on windows mobile. 3 actually sell/sold the Kaiser but say that it doesn't support the free msn. I don't think the free skype will work either.
The free 150mb of data per topup will still give you a lot of messenger use though.
I'll probably be switching over in about a month, so would apreciate you posting if you do find out for certain before then.

The network I'm with is closing on the 26th August this year, so I won't be switching 'till then.
I think this is going to be pretty hard to find out. As you said, 150mb is a lot of messenger use, so I'll have to use up all the allowance before I can check.
Still, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Even if it's not free, it's still a better deal than any other network is offering at present in the UK for PAYG.
I am also a Blyk refugee. Asda seem to be the cheapest for calls and texts, but the long lasting freebies on 3uk are swinging me that way - and 3g so faster as well.
I may have been wrong about skype. Reading in the kaiser section it seems that iskoot will allow you to make use of skype. Someone has made a cab which sets it up for 3, but I haven't found a definitive answer. I may try PMing some of the 3 users on here in a few days.
