Is there somewhere other than the metropcs site that I can check how much data I have used this month? i've searched everywhere and can't find anything

This is a pretty cool app to keep track on your phone

True. It is something to keep general track of all your data though.

My Data Manager will automatically calculate data already used to the next time you pay your phone bill. No matter when you activate the app.

Another vote for My Data Manager.
Great App. Even though I have unlimited data, after seeing 25% swings in data use I wanted to see what is using it. Today, Facebook had 23% of my data use even though I never used it. Stopped all refreshing and location.
Anyone with a limited plan, you can set thresholds with alarms or even stop data so you don't get dinged. The current trend where every app needs to know where you are and what you are doing and send you a notification if the wind shifts direction needs to be managed

You might want to check your plan on their website. I have the $50 plan, and I haven't made any changes since I started in December and mine says Unlimited metroweb and 1 GB multimedia (music, video, etc.) As I understand it, you would have to be on the $70 plan to have unlimited streaming. Also as a test I streamed on YouTube on 4g and now it says 1%

Log in then select ur name to enter ur account info then on the left u should see a tab named data usage.
Try dialing 611 on phone then under payment & billing , data usage is at bottom
Much thanks. Previously, when I was signed in and hovered over "account" it only gave me options of "wish list" and "sign out" but I never tried just clicking on "account".
Once I did, I found page you referred to but had to "upgrade" to view data, etc. All good but now I'm still curious about actual data usage. It says 3% used but not a number. Getting closer...
