I wrote a little something so I could check my current minutes used to
see how I was doing for the month. I only get 1,000 minutes, and I
have three phones (two other family members share the plan). This way,
I can (theoretically) know ahead of time if I'm trending towards going
over my plan. By the way, I get free minutes on weekends, so it takes
that into consideration.
Everything is working fine. I'm just posting it in case anyone finds
it interesting or useful, and as always, comments or constructive
criticism are welcome.
