Having a cell phone is great, that is, until you get your bill. If you have every opened up a bill and found a ridiculous text messaging or minutes overage charge, you are probably looking for a way to avoid this! Rogers and Bjango have recently released two iPhone apps to help you keep an eye on these things.
Rogers My Account is an iPhone application for Rogers iPhone users (there is a Fido version too) to track their monthly data, text messaging, and voice minutes usage.The app also lets you view your statement balance and pay with a credit card. It is incredibly useful, however it is not the quickest or prettiest app.
Rogers My Account – Usage Screens
Rogers My Account – Balance, Payment, and the oh so slow Loading screen
However do not worry, there is a better solution! Thanks to the Australian iPhone development firm Bjango and their beautiful app Consume. Consume logs into your Rogers account and download usage statistics for you, displaying them in a wonderfully designed user interface. In addition to tracking your iPhone’s (or any phone account) data, text messages, and voice usage – it also displays your home broadband cable usage. If you have an iPhone and home internet with Rogers, this is a must-have app!
Consume – Internet Usage, Updating, and Mobile Usage screens
Consume – Settings and Add Account screens
Go get Consume now! If it saves you from a big Rogers bill, with many extra charges, it will have paid for itself in just one month!
