hi there!
i was wondering... is there an application for S60 that will count and log the traffic amounts of all the GPRS connections from all the applications?
since i have to pay if i reach some limit, it is really crucial information...
thanks in advance! 😊
gprs traffic counting
This is one of the thing that is counted in the Log application (look for Data or GPRS Counter).

hey there.
thanks for your reply!
unfortunatly in my Nokia 6680 I am unable to find that information in the log application. It has only logs for incoming/outgoung calls.. :frown:
any idea where to look?
thanks in advance
On the 6680 its the one below Call Duration and is called Packet Data.
found it!
awesome, thanks alot!
and if we are on the subject, what should a newbie know about saving on gprs traffic amount? (maybe some tools, techniques, etc)
thanks again 😃
Well there's not a lot you can do to save traffic apart from being aware what creates it.
Common usages:
Web / Opera / Browser Usage
E-mail (sending and receiving)
Downloads (of any type)
Uploads (e.g. sending images using Lifeblog / blogging programs)
Stremain Video / Audio
MMS Messages (though usually this is not included in your allowance by your operator)
Any application thats gets data through the network (e.g. stock quote program, currency programs, some route planners (e.g. Wayfinder).
With Opera you can use a cache / accelerator program they have (the name escapes me at the moment), which will reduce GPRS usage when browsing.
great. thanks again!
