Pageonce has just made this handy utility for iPhone that keeps tabs on on your minutes and data usage – you can even look over your bill and figure out your current balance. The full feature list includes:
- View current minute balance, rollover minutes, data plan, SMS use, billing cycle, and previous payments on a single page
- Receive alerts when you reach 90% of your limit or when bill is due
- Breakdown information by family member
- View and pay phone bill directly from Cell Minute Tracker
Very cool, but it will be really impressive when we can top-up or change other service details right from the device in an interface like this. Sure, some carriers let you do it by SMS right now, but a dedicated, preloaded app on any handset would be really helpful. Of course, then carriers would have a harder time pinging you on overage charges… Starting tomorrow you can pick up Cell Phone Minute Tracker in the App Store right over here. Just remember, it’s U.S.-only.
