Nokia Betalabs just released a much-wanted “Counters” app for Lumia Windows Phones, which helps you track your data usage along with calls and messages.
It’s pretty easy to use, and all you have to do is add in your monthly data restrictions, and the app will warn you when you’re nearing it along with other things. Interestingly, this feature is built into Windows Phone 8 as “DataSense” but it’s nice to see Nokia bring it down to Windows Phone 7 devices.
Counters main features:
- set limits for calls, messaging, mobile data
- change start of the counting period
- see top contacts
There are some limitations Counters have at the moment:
- Counters app requires particular phone software. You can check operating system version in Settings>about>more information>”OS version”. You should have either 8773 or 8779 in the string. Check for updates here.
- there are no notifications when set limit is achieved (will come later)
- conference calls are not counted properly
- not possible to set data limit counter with a fractional part (i.e. not possible to set 1.5GB limit)
Available over at the Nokia BetaLabs link below (PSA: You’ll need to sign in with your Nokia account).
