Monitoring iPhone EDGE usage?
I've only got 80mb/month to play with on EDGE or else I'm slugged $1/mb. How can I keep an eye on use? Does Telstra have a site I can log into so I can check?

https://telstra.com/myaccount/index.jsp

Generally 24 hours behind though.

Yes, there's a great usage meter built in.

Looks like the Telstra monster got you.

Did you go with the prepaid family and friends plan?
I found myself using about 12mb a day. Won't last a week with that 80mb plan

I use mine for mail and the occasional web use such as checking a movie on RT or settling a bet on wikipedia (plus obsessively checking these forums) and didn't even come close to half way to 80MB, according to my iPhone.

If I remember, I might reset the usage meter and write down what it says over a couple of days so I can compare to the Telstra phone bill (which amusingly details every data usage individually).
