I have been enjoying the Curve for a week now (my first BB) and I love it. However, I would like to know if BBs have either a data counter or SMS counter. I have done some research on this and can�t find an answer. If anyone has some info, I would appreciate it.
PS- These forums are invaluable�thanks for all the info!!
Welcome to CrackBerry.com!
I've not seen any options for this. But, you could log into your BIS account (service provider's website) and go to minutes /data used section...
Thanks for the info!! Strange that the BB would not have such an option--even my old Moto cell counted text messages?? Otherwise, the BB is awesome--i'm never going back!
Have same complaint about BB Curve. Was it hard to make sms counter there?
i know this is a late reply, but i stumbled upon this thread when searching for an answer on the same thing...
just in case anybody's still wondering, YES there is a message counter...
options > status > [menu key] > database sizes > [scroll down to SMS Messages] the number on the left is the combined total of sent/received, the right is the amount of memory they're taking up...
this only counts messages currently stored on the phone, but its in there.
I previously had a 200 sms package from at&t. I could dial *DATA# and it would generate a (free) reply from them indicating my use during the current billing cycle. Perhaps all carriers offer some version of this service ?

How biog is too big for the SMS database? Right now i have 913/326.7K.
There is an option to keep you msg for up to 3 months or less. After the length of time you set it to keep msg's they will just delete themselves after that time has expired. Unless you dont have a memeory card and you have alot of pics or downloads then it will delete your msg and call log for you when memory gets low.
I cant recall how to get to the screen thta allows you to set the length of time. Maybe someone can help me out there?
LoL I burn thru 200 msg in about 3 days :eek: I'm lame..i know;) Mainly bc txt has takin over as my voice to be a parent.
I know for t-mobile you can hit #674# and then send and it will tell you how many text messages were used during that billing cycle. I know AT&T has a similar service too. You might have to call your service provider and see if they have that and what's the code.
