Last week I received a text message from my operator that I’ve used 80% of my network traffic on my mobile phone. I was quite surprised as I never got such a warning before in the two years that I’ve been using mobile Internet. As it’s very expensive to use more traffic than included in my contract I searched for a simple application to help me keep track of my current usage.

Now I’m using Netcounter, a free Android application that does just one thing: giving an overview of the traffic you’ve used today, last 7 days, this month and in total. You can also export/import the collected data to and from the SD-card of the handset, and you can set an alarm if you exceed your limit.

If you are encountering the same problem, download Netcounter in the Market by scanning the QR-code below.
