Hi, I was wondering if there was application which worked similar to the GPRS counter but for airtime and/or SMS messages instead.

Thanks

There hasn't been much in a while. Spb had a version but they haven't updated it in a long time. :(

Thats unfortunate :( Does Spb's version work at all?

I'm not sure. I haven't loaded it in over a year.

AFAIK SPBs does data counting, not air time. So Voice does not get tracked, and I don't think SMSs would. Don't believe they come over the GPRS channel.

Actually an air time counter would be a nice app for someone to write. With the prevalence of all-you-can-eat data, a data counter isn't as important as it once was. But if you are like me and have a minimal voice plan, just to qualify for the unlimited data, easily checking phone time would be handy.

You might not even have to do anything complicated. All the carriers have some sort of on-line check option I believe. Generally that is free. You might just have to invoke that, parse the response and display it neatly.
