I have a BB 8310. How do I tell how much data I'm using?

I'm traveling internationally next week and I'm wondering if I should turn off Data Services. The price is going to be $.20 / KB.

Thanks in advance.

How long will you be gone?

You can turn data services off on the device

Hey! I'm doing the same thing... not sure if you know, but I also called AT&T and had them add "Extended International Roaming" to my account, so I'll be able to call and use data if needed. I'll probably just turn data services off because a lot of people here said it can be very pricey without the Int'l BB plan.

Oh, you can log into your AT&T wireless account and see your data usage. I'm not sure how up-to-date it will be if traveling internationally though.

A little over a week. I'd rather not turn off data services.

Also I screwed up the original post -- it's $.02 / KB, not $.20 / KB.

Do I use less than 50KB ($1) a day just receiving truncated BES emails? I think so. But I don't know.

There's a great little free program called MiniMoni to track data usage.

according to AT&T, international data per kb is $0.02 per kb... 2 cents per kb, not 20. but if you get their international data plan for $25/mo, you get 20MB included and additional kb are a half cent $0.005... a quarter of the standard rate.


and here's the full details on international data for AT&T
