Didn't see this mentioned on this site but thought it was useful

Datally helps you do three things:

- Understand your data. See your usage on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis and get personalized recommendations for how you can save more.
- Control your data. Turn on the Data Saver bubble to block background data usage and track real-time data usage while using each of your apps—it’s like a speedometer for your data. You can also block data with one tap if an app’s data usage gets out of control.
- Save your data. Sometimes you just need a little more than what you’ve got on your data plan. Datally will tell you if you’re near public Wi-Fi and help you connect. Once you’re done, don’t forget to rate the network quality to help other users.

I have yet to find a data app that works with our stupid network's data expiration and roll over policies.

For example I get 500mb for the month and an extra 125Mb to use in the first week. Then data rolls over but you can't roll over more than 2 months worth. In other words I'll never have more that 1625mb at any one time. But I can if I have purchased a data bundle, but that has varying expiration dates depending of the amount purchased.

So the solution is to weekly use the network app to check how much data I have left and adjust Android's data usage limits and warnings accordingly.

Yeah, but this OP has download links and quotes the actual Google blog. I like this one more.

I know. I'm posting it since there are two threads and most will probably comment in the other...

I know, dude. I was actually telling them in the other thread that you posted it and then I just put the link here for FYI.
