Hi guys, Im a new iPhone user (finally) And I was wondering what is the best App to track my 3G data usage so I dont bust my limit per month.

Android has 3G watchdog and others ..

Anything like that for the iPhone in the Appstore ? I dont want to jailbrake it

Thanks alot guys :)

thx :)
But is there a way or an app that I can set the date that my data plan resets every month, So that I dont have to go through the settings - General - Usage -Cellular usage, and do a reset from there ?

It can be easy to forget to reset and after a couple of days dont know how much data I am at for the next month ...
 
I think it'd very nice if we could put our data usage (resetting automatically every billing period if we choose so) in the notification center.

If you upgraded to iOS 5 use the new Reminders app; plus it allows dor setting them to repeat :)

Could you walk me through how to set up a reminder to alert me when I've used 1.5 GB of data on 3G during my current billing cycle? I go to reminders click (+) and I can type text, but I don't have any idea where to go from here.
 
dataman is good and you can see your wifi stuff to. There is a free version but it needs to be in the background
 
I use Data Usage. It's a bit of a battery hog if you want it running all the time, but it does a great job. You can set thresholds with alerts. It's also universal, so it will run on the iPad and the iPhone.

Reminders isn't that powerful unfortunately. I was referring to using it to send maybe bi-weekly or tri-weekly notifications from Reminders so you could manually check.
