[Search] App which counts outbound minutes and sms

Hey, I'm on a plan with 100 free minutes and sms , all minutes/sms exceeding this inclusive ones are rather expensive..
Is there an app out who counts outgoing sms/minutes ? Or even better keeps track of them and alarm if more than xy/day/week/month are used? Maybe even a littel widget^^ (Something like netcounter but for sms+minutes would be perfekt + widget =P)
Else I'll have my little brother to do one.

if you're on TMO, the MyAccount app counts minutes and text messages. however, it doesnt have all the extra bells and whistles you're looking for (like the widget, alarms, etc).
not sure how you get by with only 100 minutes anyway. i'd use that up in less than a day. I highly recommend using GV or setting up sip.

The Counter alone would be nice to have for the moment.
I'm from Germany, so no GV and sip not allowed either I'm more than fine with 100Minutes+SMS , most of the time I just use Meebo or receive the long calls
The app should be provider independed. And at least do the following:
count number of upgoing sms/calls.
//EDIT
http://code.google.com/p/callmeter/ ! n1 =) Let's go for the widget ;>

Try an app called DroidStats, works like a charm for minutes and sms. Notifies you after set limits and you can set day of month to start counting from, in case you're not being billed from 1st of the month til 1st of next month (which is perfect as my monthly bill runs from 14th - 13th).

Coming from Android with a few questions...

I just ordered a HTC 8x (keeping my 32gb SIII for now) from Verizon and had a few questions. I have not used a Windows phone since my HTC TP2 - which I loved until the HTC Incredible came out. Is there an app that allows WiFi tethering - like FoxFi? I don't use it all that much but when I travel it is nice. I am grandfathered in to unlimited so the tiered plans are not an option. I also use mass txt messages several times (13 team members) a week and I am currently using GoSMS to do it. I am hoping there is a similar app that allows mass txting on Windows Phone OS - stock would be great. Does the wireless charging system use more power than the traditional hard wired cables?
Looking forward to WM8 & thanks all for any help!

Currently
On WP8 only way to tether (I could be wrong) is to pay carrier extra fee. I am waiting on another option as well, and as far as mass text you can do that in the groups setting I send out text to 16 people at a time for basketball games and such. And the room feature seems to be nice but I haven't used it yet. There is also http://xyo.net/lumia/ which will tell you what apps are somewhat equivalent.

WP8 -- in settings has an option for internet sharing (no app needed) that provides up to 5 other devices (at least on my 920 with AT&T). I assume that this is a general option in WP8 ...
I have the shared data plan that allows tethering, so I am not sure if networks need to have it allowed in order to use it ...
But, the option is there without the need of an app ...

wi-fi tethering is a built-in feature in WP8 (since WP7.5) - it's called "internet sharing". i have no problem with at&t, using my nokia 920 as a wi-fi AP for my notebook and my ms surface rt. i can even go remotely to my work computer through VPN.
you can create a group, adding anybody from your contacts. after that you can send email or text sms to all the contacts from this group - just by one click.
and yes, you don't need any additional applications for these features.

i've been a t-mobile customer, and now i'm an at&t client. i didn't pay anything additional for using my phone as a modem (through bluetooth or wi-fi, whatever) and i'm not paying now. the only payment you should be aware of - for the data, you use. i subscribed to a data shared mobile plan in at&t - $90/mo for 6Gb shared data (plus unlimited voice and text) for up to 10 (i believe) lines (i use 4) plus $35/mo per device. i pay $225/mo for 3 smartphones and 1 simple phone. we've never overlimited our 6Gb plan. though if you do, it costs $15/1Gb.
the room is a cool feature, but it works only for WP-phones. but as i said you can group your contacts to be able to email or text all of them by one click.

I think on Verizon unless I am on the Share all plan I am not allowed to use the wifi/bluetooth tethering. At least without an app like FoxFi. Speaking of contacts... how are they managed on WP8? I will go out on a limb and say iCloud is definitely out and probably so is Gmail... hope its that easy.

The 6Gb data share plan (for families, or 5Gb for individual) is needed to enable tethering with AT&T ...

Gmail is seamless, and so are your contacts if they're synced with Google.

I'm sorry man...but why the hell would you ever leave the gsIII for any other phone period? All the things you need are on Android and the gsIII.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

While the SIII is a great device it is NOT the end all of phones. There are still plenty of force closes and lock ups on the device. I am just wanting to try something different and I have been looking forward to WM8 for a long time. Here's hoping.

^ you might want to read the WPcentral forums, and the iPhone forums, as they do the same lock ups and force closes.

the only way to avoid lockups is turning off these phones.

I don't think I've had a lock up or app crash on Windows Phone. They were all too common on iOS though.
But can we leave all the playground arguments over best platform to some other forum? they're only phones at the end of the day.

You're the first person in this thread to mention best platform, no one is arguing.

Crashes are present in Windows Phone as well, but are less obvious as the system simply closes down the app without saying a word.
In most cases, crashes are due to the poorly written app and not the system.
Although I have a killer wifi and university that restarts my phone lol.

After reading several of your posts, I still can't figure out if you are a WP8 supporter or not.
Either way, I have been on Android for my entire cell phone career for several years and most recently had the GS3. I can't even tell you how many force closes I have had from apps, lag and slowdown because of horrible resource management of the OS, dalvik cache slowdown, etc. I rooted all of my devices and was heavily into the technical side of things.
I never had an iPhone but have played with many. Never was my cup of tea, but I won't talk bad about it since I simply don't know enough.
I finally grew tired of it all and purchased a HTC 8X last week. I can tell you that WP8 OS is such a breath of fresh air coming from Android. There is absolutely no lag or slowdown whatsoever....ever. I can pop in and out of apps, do whatever I want and it constantly stays smooth. No ram dumps or reboots required. I also have not had a single force closed app or random reboot like some people have reported. It has been an absolute flawless experience so far.
Just thought I would post some positive energy after a lot of negative. Is WP8 a lot more simple than Android? Yes. Is it a bad thing? No. It's such a seamless and smooth experience that I'm not sure I can' go back to Android at this point. At least not for a while. YMMV.

You quote me why? Who was negative? Just stated a fact, dont be so defensive.

I'm not being defensive at all. Just stating my opinion based on your quote. The other reason why I quoted you is that I've seen you all throughout this WP8 forum sort of talking down on WP8. Just curious as to why and which side you are on. Not saying you have to pick a side or you can't talk down on WP8, but just curious.

What have I said down? That it lock ups? Is that a lie? App crashes? Is that a lie?How about random reboots? I could go and mention a host of other things but there is no point.
So don't quote me with baseless rhetoric.

You know, apologies are in order. I think I completely got you confused with someone else.
Anyhow, my bad. At the same time, my experience with WP8 that I posted doesn't change. I'm loving this OS so far! :good:

A ton of folks are, enjoy it. Don't take this stuff seriously, it's just a phone at the end of the day.

No true group messaging?

So I just sent a group message too two people and was hoping the stock SMS app would support group messaging. But to my surprise when someone replies back to group I get a single txt from that person and not in the group message. One person has a S4 and the other has a Iphone 5. Is there a fix for this or am I just left off installing the CM messaging app?

I have it checked and it only sends the message to everyone but I do not receive messages back in the group.

Use group SMS or try using some messengers...

Can anyone confirm if the CM messenger has working group?

Hangouts is a good multiplatform messanger.

Give Textra a try. It's my favorite SMS app and group MMS works great.

i used the stock SMS app for group text all the time with no issue. groups as large as 10 people no issue. im running the CM SMS app now for the added features and yes, it works perfectly as well.

My stock messaging does group
moto X

More than likely this issue is caused by the iPhone 5 response, I have received group messaging with other android users fine, but throw an iPhone user in the mix and you start to get individual texts back. When I was running CM10.2 on my DNA they were able to get this fixed, but I think the iPhone 4's responses were still coming back as individual.

It could also be that the person responding is using an app that doesn't support group MMS. When they respond they only respond to you.

and to add to all the problems. AT&T and VZW use different formats for their messages so things get tricky there. Also the older iphones and the newer iphones use different text message formats. This is why if you send a big text to a vzw customer it will show up often as an entire block but if it is an AT&T customer it will break it up into the 179 (or however many) characters.
This is also the reason that if you send a long text to an older iphone it will come in not in the same order as you sent it on their phone. I looked into all of this because I use mightytext so i send long text from my computer a lot and people with older iphones on AT&T always get jumbled messages.
The entire system is just crap but its not worth the making a uniformed format because it would cost money and not enough people complain or know about all the issues. IMHO.

My phone sent an SMS that I did not send

So this morning I open Hangouts and see that in the middle of the night my phone sent a text message to 2635. The text message body was:
/T:20fa2a57-f8b2-41c8-93d7-15c2b1fa2327/ /R:5294462c0cf29206e34cd1ac/
Can anybody tell me what this is, why it sent, etc? Has anyone else had this or something similar happen?

That makes a lot of sense. I opened the NFL Mobile app last night for the first time, then it tried to verify something that I didn't want to wait for so I closed the app and then disabled it. Thank you very much, I was kinda freaked out that my phone had some kind of malware that was sending encrypted info without my knowledge. I guess it was just crappy bloat-ware instead.

Hangouts shows sms messages that are supposed to be hidden, it intercepts them as they go out, you are not charged extra for them, it goes as far as intercepting voicemail commands on my sprint version so I had to switch back to stock sms app until they fix it.

Confirming this. Very odd. The NFL app should have warned that it was sending a txt but it didn't. Bit scary...

Verizon / NFL Mobile
Yes, it is from Verizon verifying that you are eligible to watch free, live, NFL games that are broadcast in your region and all national prime time games using the NFL Mobile app. Today CBS changed our game from Houston @ Minnesota to Pittsburgh @ Miami so I tried to watch Houston @ Minnesota on my phone and it worked fine.

THANKS for your clear and timely response. I was about to hard reset my phone because I thought it had been compromised!

That freaked me out thanks for putting my mind at ease guys. That's certainly what did it. Super Bowl while in line for dinner. Any good suggestions for identifying applications or possibly root kits etc. And the connections these types of apps tend to use, I intend of contributing to the boards more again. I used to everyday for mobile hardware and Web app development generals. But Im curious if there are apps by which they execute tasks like in this manner which I know this particular one isn't but I don't know the best path for figuring that kind of detection and more advanced feedback results and whos signature database wont be easily corruptible, maybe something more productive and professional but real scan and firewall features would be nice however I think thats why some socks and vpns services exist. I use a couple things. I can't help thinking I'm an idiot for wanting to know what and who want what from my android Mac or Windows device. Instead I could be allowing perms access to apps advertising to stop it but make you vulnerable to the point of someone walking on in and helping themself. I want control over my life my tools and devices, but would settle for doing my best to avoid it from someone else. This is one of a couple weird events. Subtle (what I think are attempts to install $.... yet stood out tremendously at the time. Sorry for etiquette I'm conjuction with topic question a small add on to it and thoughts of others encountering nfl live, any info or comments welcome don't beat me too hard, it's been a working progressive thing for the last year I noticed all these horrible warning signs of the end of true privacy as we know it, since it resonated my interest has grown but maybe my interest has drawn attention like vpns and etc. Idk what to do at this point. Take me back to 1996 and a Circle K with a few dimes and a pay phone if I need you on the phone right now, bad wish for a developer. :]

[Q] Cross platform messaging with iOS devices?

Hello all. Had the N6 for a couple of weeks now and love this phone like I loved my last Nexus (the N1).
Only problem I've got is that my progeny like the simplicity of their iOS devices. I work away from home for long periods so I like to message them when possible. I picked up an ipad a couple of years ago for this purpose but really dislike the whole fiasco of keep track of two devices that have completely incompatible OSs.
The wife doesn't want me to set up a Google+ profile for the kids either so I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to message them from my N6 to their imessage accounts...
I found http://imessageonandroid.com/ but I'm leery of the need to side load what I would think should just be on the play store if it's so wonderful. I don't see any justification for side loading on their site either.
Anyone ever used it or know of another solution that I can seek out that doesn't involve the young one's creating more online accounts?
Thanks in advance.

If they have a gmail account you could use hangouts. You don't need to make a G+ to go with it and hangouts seems to be good for most people.

You won't find an iMessage solution. You will need to stick with something else that is cross platform. A few are Hangouts, Telegram, Whatsapp (You might need a telephone # for this one), and plenty of others.

Both my 3 and my 5 year olds, both with iPads, call me through hangouts almost nightly. They haven't grasped the whole messaging feature yet, but I work nights so its how I say goodnight to them sometimes. I'd say hangouts is your best, most full featured option.
My better half also enjoys iOS with her iPhone 6, she, however, hates hangouts and will only download it on her phone if I ask her to for a quick video chat.
