do you want to just monitor it, or physically limit it? i have a handy app on my droid that shows upstream/downstream speed in the status bar, and i have an app that shows my current usage in real time and I could configure it to what my plan permits (i still have unlimited mobile data) What are you doing that is consuming so much data (tough to find a way to limit something, when you don't know what it is). If it is hours of porn, well then lol.. good luck. if there are sites you often visit like espn for example, you might be able to find what on their page is heavy data, and use something like a pop-up blocker to block that specific content. i'm not a computer expert, just a thinker.

im not trying to watch videos, just play pb. the phone tracks usage its self, so im just trying to limit the usage as much as possible.

I dont know why they limit it exactly, but my guess is because I could use a shit ton of data via laptop? If everyone can get unlimited data on computer by a $10 addition to a phone plan, im guessing internet companies would have a bit of trouble selling theirs for triple or more then that.

A lot of those limited data plan services have free hours; like 2am to 7am in the morning. If you have automatic updates running for your operating system or other various programs, scheduling the updates during the free hours can help, that is if you have free hours...

i think this would be the only way.

mobile versions of sites usually get rid of all the images, flash etc. in order to consume less data and load faster

also make sure you dont have any software connecting to the internet. it might be what is causing you to use so much data
