There are several ways to do this, the easiest (if you reset your counter each month) is to go direct to your iPhone and look it up under Setting -&gt; General -&gt; Usage. There are also other methods, such as dialing&nbsp;*DATA# ( *3282# ) on your iPhone or going direct to AT&amp;T via <a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/accounts/" target="_blank">their website</a> or via their free myWireless Mobile app [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/at-t-mywireless-mobile/id309172177?mt=8" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]. I'm on the family plan so I find it easier to go direct to the website.&nbsp;</p>

Consume (http://bjango.com/apps/consume/) is also a good option. Its free for a limited time.

I use the iPhone app or the website.
(Really home AT&T make a family DataPlan one day as my son will get my 3Gs when the 4G comes out...doubt they'll make it by that deadline).

Good tip, thanks Darius! This looks like a pretty good program and still free!

Incidentally, there's an iPad version (http://bjango.com/apps/consumeipad/) in the works, and it'll be free at launch, so keep your eyes open for that one. :)
