Cell phone usage monitor program that include SMS usage

[humayunl]

There are some nice programs to track cell phone usage e.g. phone dashboard)... however it is surprising that they all completely ignore another important part of cellular usage that is part of the plan.. SMS!

I havent seen any program that also counts how many SMSs you have sent/received. This is also a major factor because sending/receiving SMSs are not free.

Is there any program that does this as well? or maybe the existing programs ought to include this functionality in them.

Having said this. even MMS/Picture Message, their count/size should be tracked as they are also part of the same deal.

I beleve gprs monitor tracks gprs usage...

There is no All-in-One solution is there?

I don't know a counter app. However, if you stick to sending SMS messages from just one PPC app that also stores the outgoing messages (almost all SMS clients are like this), you can at least guess (if you don't want to export it into a text file and count using any kind of text editor capable of displaying the actual row number) how many you've sent. I prefer SimpleSMS for this because it exports the SMS messages it sent/received in a way that each message is placed in teir own textual row so you can very quickly count (by a simple subtraction) exactly how many messages you've sent.

Incidentally, I've written a detailed review of the SMS/phone manager apps available. The language of the article is not English; still, the tables, the pics and the URL's can be quite informative. Check it out at http://www.pdamania.hu/content/1840 if interested.
