Limit data connection charges
To limit data connection charges, you can set up traffic limit
notifications on your device and be notified when a traffic limit is
reached. You can specify a maximum of three daily and three monthly
limits. The traffic amount is specified in megabytes, kilobytes, or in the
form of a percentage of the daily or monthly use. Once traffic reaches
one of these limits, you will receive a notification that the limit has been
reached.

1. Tap Start > Programs > GPRS Monitor.
2. Tap Tools > Options.
3. On the Day warn and Month warn tabs, enable warnings.
Run GPRS Monitor

usage. You can see charts and reports for the traffic and cost, and
export these reports to CSV files that you can open with Excel, Access,
and similar spreadsheet and database software.
