GPRS Usage monitor

I'd like to monitor my GPRS usage over the period of a month as I've just started using various GPRS apps such as RoadSync, Seven Always on, Handy weather...
Carphone Warehouse can't supply me with the info on the internet (I'm on O2), until I've been billed which is no good for monitoring during the month!
My GPRS connection at home is quite poor and often the connection drops and then closes, so the active data connection in Connection Manager will only show the details since the last dropped connection.
I see there's Stat Monitor, but there's no mention of the N80 being supported, and looking at the last updated date, I guess no S60v3 phones are.

Any suggestions of applications/utilities would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Diane

Can you not use the Data Counter that's built into the phone?

Menu -> My own -> Log -> Packet data

In there use the Options menu to clear the counters at the start of a month. Then you can go back in there any time to check how much has been used so far.

That's what I do, and the packet data just counts up inbound and outbound bytes on GPRS connections (i.e. it won't add up WLAN, which is ideal as I just want to monitor how much it costs me on Orange).
