    • Ray LaMontagne
    • At first, Ray LaMontagne might strike you as just another breathy-voiced knockoff of folk/rock guitarists like John Mayer and Jack Johnson. But he's actually got a better voice than either, he tell

  • De Nova

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Redwalls
    • Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

    • What? Only four stars, you stingy bastard? I'm asking myself the same question, so let me explain myself to myself... If I compare the new

  • The Last 5 Years (2002 Off-Broadway Cast)

    • 10 out of 10
    • Jason Robert Brown
    • The soundtrack to this moving off-broadway musical is heart moving. The lyrics follow a couple in a relationship for five years, one point of view going forward in time, and the other tracing time fr
  • Supermodified

    • Amon Tobin
    • The genius is in the beats. Amon Tobin creates fantastic, groovy beats behind beats. "Supermodified" rolls through your expectations of breakbeat music, and turns them up a bit. It's a mellow album, p

Cell Minute Tracker Displays iPhone Usage Graphically

Cell Minute Tracker from Pageonce collects and displays usage and billing information for your iPhone. It uses encrypted communication to extract information from your AT&T account. It displays progress bars for your Anytime Minutes, Night/Weekend minutes, Rollover minutes and Text Message usage.

Cell Minute Tracker

Main Screen

At first launch, the app requires users to enter their AT&T phone number and account password, assuming one has set up an online account to access AT&T billing information. The Pageone company represents itself as a leader in security technology. I took a look at their Website and combined that with knowledge that Apple had approved the app and decided it was acceptable to enter that information.

The app shows green colored bars to summarize the key usage stats the customer might need to know, especially if it's suspected that limits have been reached. It's a lot more convenient than logging onto AT&T with Safari and reading the miniscule text.

The app has its own facility to set a passcode so that even if you don't passcode protect the iPhone itself, your AT&T account data will remain secure. If there are multiple family members on the account, the data can be broken down my member.

Cell Minute Tracker-2

Preferences

Pageone uses a lot of space within the app for an FAQ that describes the company, their trustworthiness, and their security expertise in order to allay concerns by the user, especially because it affords the ability to log directly on to the AT&T account on the Web and make a payment.

Cell Minute Tracker is another one of those convenient, well thought out apps, that collects useful information and presents it to the iPhone user. It requires iPhone OS 2.2 or later, is priced at US$0.99, and only works with AT&T accounts.
