Looking for an App That Keeps Track of Minutes Used/Notification if You Go Over/Close

[vladtheimpaler]

I have been looking for a good app that tracks minutes used and will alert you if you are close to going over your minutes. I see one called VoiceMan but there are only two reviews and both are bad in the app store. Any recommendations would be awesome. Thanks

Are you on ATT? The myAT&T app is probably the best solution. Not sure what to tell you if you're on VZW. Perhaps add a shortcut to your homescreen that goes to your account on their website. I'd guess they have an app though?

Edit: "My Verizon Mobile" in app store.

I'd assume the official Verizon and ATT apps are more accurate than any 3rd party app.

Not an app, but if on AT&T dialing *646#<call> will provide your current minutes remaining. Other carriers may offer similar functionality.

Yes, I am on ATT and I have that app. But it does not notify you when you are close or going over your minutes.

My apologies, I must have glossed over the wanting an alert part. Can you have ATT send a text alert when you're close to your minutes? I have nearly 5000 rollover minutes, so this isn't much of an issue for me.

Nothing against your post but something to add: Normally I get text from AT&T if I used 65% of my data plan, 90% of my data plan. Of course I get text from AT&T if I go over my data limit. I'm not sure if this is the case for minutes. Personally I have not gone over my minutes or gone near using up my minutes. I am on a family plan and we don't use our minutes. So my rollover keeps adding up.

OP: If you have lots of rollover minutes saved up, I wouldn't worry. If you have less then it would be a concern. I believe AT&T only keeps your rollover minutes for a year??

I have seen our family plan go over on minutes a couple times due to abnormal circumstances, no alerts were generated AFAIK.

Rollover minutes expire on a 12 month rolling window.

You should take advantage of the A-List to reduce your minutes used on numbers that you call frequently that count against your minutes. I cut my minute usage in half by doing that. Family plans get to list 10 numbers.

Thanks, I ended up doing that a few months back and also switched over to the Family Messaging with unlimited mobile to any mobile. Now my rollover bucket overfloweth.
