    Usually phones can log what they send and recieve somewhere in the call times menu.

    Reset that to zero at the start of each month and check it every so often until you get a feel for what you are using.

    You will not get any warning form your mobile company you are about to break the limit.

    That said if you only search facebook occasionally your unlikely to hit 500mb a month

    I'm sure I have seen this somewhere on the forums - does anyone know an easy way to get an accurate check of your balance on the £10pm 500 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb package.

    O2 users can dial 4444 from their handset and follow the menu, don't know what it is for other providers.

    If you've an O2 smartphone navigate to the O2 homepage and 'essentials', you can see your allowance there for free (if you bookmark it)
