Now an app that lets you keep tab on mobile usage

Keeping tab of your mobile phone usage is one of the biggest pain points of our time. While service providers offer their own apps to keep tab on usage and recharge accounts when needed, multi-service apps of this kind are rare. This is where the updated Planhound 2 app wants to make difference.

“We built a recommendation engine to help people discover the right plan based on their usage, but soon figured that a majority of the mobile users did not know their usage because they were mobile prepaid users who did not get a mobile bill. That is when the app idea was born — something that sits on your phone and can measure all this automatically,” explains Jigar Doshi, co-founder of Cheeni Labs, creators of the new app. He says that with usage being accurate, the recommendations are better and the savings a lot more real.

The app automatically recognises your service provider, the kind of network you are on and how much balance you have. On a post-paid connection, it shows usage, but not the unbilled amount. It shows data usage, call minutes and SMS number as well as roaming usage.
