Re: How do you view 'Smart' prepaid data usage?
Last time I used SMART in the village.
30 minute of normal internet use... Facebook/Messenger = 1 dollar (out of $5).
I had to top off with another $5 to last the wedding ceremony.
Not so smart (on me).

all good, I just downloaded 'data counter' widget for a work around.

Not sure I follow this, if you dial *888# you get your phone usage and *500*888# for your data usage. Just checked mine it takes 7seconds it gives you current data and expiry date. If you use another data package such as surf like crazy you use a different code to 500explorer wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 8:15 am I have found the information you get is many days behind. It can show you have a lot of data, then soon after you have none left. Then any other credit you have on your smart phone will be used up at a stupid rate, before you find out your data is used up. So I have not used it for the last couple of years. Unless it has improved, it is useless. I did wonder if it was an intentional scam.
You can set up an Android phone to record your data. However, it may not count data exactly the same way, so it might not be exactly the same, but it will give you a good indication.
When I top up my phone I get quite a bit of data free. When it runs out I transfer mony from my phone to data $1=30 I check my phone a couple of times a day I use about $5 month all up
Re: How do you view 'Smart' prepaid data usage?
With most Smart plans you have two balances. The main balance (real USD you have topped up) and the bonus balance. For data and on-net call/SMS you use the bonus balance first and then the real USD.
With StreamOn you get $ 3333 bonus for $ 8 topped up per month.
The bonus balance can be used for on-net calls/SMS and data. Price is $ 0,04 per minute/SMS/MB data.
If you call/SMS outside Smart's net you will use the main balance ($ 0,08/min, $ 0,05/SMS).
One month: $ 8
Bonus balance: $ 3333
Cost one MB: $ 0,04
GB one month: 83,3
Edit:
Personally I prefer Smart ThomMorng! Weekly with 8GB data for $ 1 per week.

You can get this information, but is it displaying the data available right now. I have not bothered with anything like this for a couple of years, but the information displayed might actually be how much data you had available several days ago. I have gone from having a huge amount of data available, to it all being used up in a very short time. When it gets to zero, it gets updated quickly.Kuroneko wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 3:34 pmNot sure I follow this, if you dial *888# you get your phone usage and *500*888# for your data usage.

Re: How do you view 'Smart' prepaid data usage?
I jumped over to Metfone today and I can see "normal' data usage. Their app is easier and a lot better than Smart.
Smart doesn't work on Koh Rong but Metfone works fine here
