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.

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 500
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
