SMS Counter?

[Guest pauldy]

Hi,

Just wondering whether there's an app for the SmartPhone which keeps a record of how many SMS messages you send, so you can see how many you've sent since a certain date, for example.

I'm on a tariff where I get 50 free texts each month, and I'd like to know when all those are used up so I can switch from using Orange texting to the new Planus service.

I know all my messages are saved in the Sent folder so I could just count them, but that's tedious and many are more than one text, which isn't helpful.

I've done a search but didn't find anything.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Moved to help and advice.

If you go to your inbox then click Menu > Show folders > Sent items.

Discounting emails it has a total in the title bar. That's how i track my free SMS's :lol:

Thanks, but that only seems to work if you don't read any of the sent items - I think that counter only displays your unread sent messages and not how many have been sent in total.

Still, it's better than nothing, although I'm surprised no one's written an app which keeps a proper record of how many messages you've sent - it must be easier to do than a GPRS counter...?

Sorry, yeah it is only an unread counter. But how many sent messages do you reread?

Try with smstools as a workaround.

It tell's you how many sms read & unread you have in inbox & in sent folders.

Ok cheers, I'll try that.

Does that have the ability to tell you how many you've sent from a certain date, such as my billing date? :lol:

[Guest caio1]

Nope... hehe

but if you delete all the old ones at your billing date then it would do the trick :lol:

It's just a workaround till someone comes with a specific app.
