Default Data monitor?

Has anyone found a data monitor app that works on a CDMA (USCC) phone? I really would like one, especially since when I called US Cellular last, the operator told me the only way to accurately tell data usage is to call into tech support. I know it is really, really hard to go over the 5GB limit, but I just would like to keep tabs on it.

Thanks!!

I tried that Network traffic control & Data Monitor from the crackberry app store and neither work.

It seems like there is no easy way to track data with US Cellular. Thanks for you help though.

Bump!!!

I have a BB 9650 Bold & US Cellular. E-office worked on my BB 8330 and not on the 9650.

I have also tried Data Monitor with no luck. It monitored nothing and froze up my phone and I couldn't change my bill cycle date or monthly limit.

Is there maybe a setting on the phone that needs to be changed?

The fact that the only way to track data is to call support seem obsurd to me. Calling or logging into the website tells you nothing.

Network Traffic Control does not work.

Monitor works but I don't really see the point. Battery level, connection status, memory usage but it does not track data usage in a way that you can track real time what you've used since the start of you bill cycle.

I can't believe there is nothing out there yet to efficiently track data usage.

Have you actually searched App World yourself? All I did was post the first couple I found when I did a quick search.

Yes I have and "network traffic control" (found and tried before your response) didn't show up when I searched for "data monitor" for some reason............doesn't work anyway

And "monitor"? Pointless app that shows you battery level and doesn't track your data.

Your so good at searching can ya find one that works?

The page for Monitor states...

... Shows you how much data you have sent and received.
Maybe you weren't using it right.

It shows everything in a chart of 4 hour blocks. So I suppose if you added it up every 4hrs manually but it doesn't even give kb or mb usage. It says radio 115 (-db) and I see a flatline at 75% whatever that means, of that while I've been sleeping with a few spikes here and there and wifi on/off and blutooth on/off

Chart of 4hr blocks may not have been the right way to put it. There is one chart that goes back 4 hours from now. 115 (-db) wifi/blutooth on/off and it shows how my battery loses its charge.

I'm trying to remember if "I Love BlackBerry" just monitors hourly usage, or if it includes data usage as well.
