We first took a look at Data Monitor for BlackBerry 10 in early 2013 (on video) and for those of you that don't have an unlimited plan it may well be the difference between additional carrier costs or not.
After a recent update Data Monitor is now headless and the developer has kindly given us 100 free copies to give away. As always; you'll need to be quick though as they'll be snapped up within minutes.
As the name of the app suggests it will record how much data your BlackBerry is using and will even warn you when you are at 50%, 75% and 90% of your monthly allowance. Within the settings of the app you can enter the amount of MB's per month you have to use and there are toggles to turn off the warnings if you like, although I think that would kind of defeat the object.
If you're quick enough you can get Data Monitor for free by following these instructions:
Hit up the app in BlackBerry World
Pull down from the top bezel and select 'Redeem'
Enter the code DATAMO2014B and the price will switch to free
Data Monitor for BlackBerry 10 is normally priced at $0.99 if you miss out on the redemption code but still want to download the app.

Cool idea but on T-Mobile I just dial #932# and get an accurate update from T-Mobile but I rarely go over.

Unsure about other carriers, but Verizon has the My Verizon app that shows talk time, sms and data usage. Works great and I can see usage on all five devices on my share plan. It's free.
Nice app but I have been using UsagePro which monitors data and usage for calls,text and all phone use. Allows preset limits and raw data by whatever timelines I choose, including upload, download and wifi. I have unlimited but use it to monitor data hog apps high data time periods. Not saying it's better as I haven't used the other, but worth checking out.

Was going to buy it but it has terrible reviews!!

Worst data monitoring app ever

Hey guys, thanks for the great feedback! More codes have been requested and I will post them up as soon as they're approved.

This functionality (or most of it) is built into the Device Monitor app in Q10SQN100-1/10.3.0.1154.

I have had this app for a long time works great and is updated all the time :)

Lou Lizard, come on get real it's a free be and the luck of the draw, you either get it or you don't it didn't cost you anything to try and get it, for free. Where I live it came out at 0200, and
I was sleeping, so maybe next time eh?

Ouch..too late..

100 copies no point even clicking on it.
Enjoy
Should post this as UK data monitor. Us westerners don't have much of a chance when freebies are posted at that hour.
Posted via CB10
No more promotion code, but 10.3.0 built in this function by BlackBerry
Posted via CB10
This is a nice app, but BlackBerry should really have this feature baked in.
Had this for a long time and think it works well. I just wish that after purchasing the in-app upgrade he would remove the pop-ups asking to look at additional apps!! I'm not too keen on ads after making purchases.

I've been using it for some time, it is a very handy app.

The struggle in redeeming these fast enough is real lol.
Posted via CB10
For those that missed out and are running 10.3eak, there's one already baked into the OS. Device Manager> (Overflow) Data Usage Settings

Lost out again. Surprise surprise.
Posted via CB10
Well what a shocker... all gone...
Posted via CB10
Wow, the number of cheap freeloaders always astonishes me..
Posted via CB10
I always miss the freebies and I check early.

Why cant my phone monitor each individual app by data and allow me to disconnect/allow each app separately to a data connection?
Posted via CB10
Sorta like how windows allows computers to have firewall ports assigned to each program, does this make any sense to the coders out there in cb land?
Posted via CB10
More freebies please. Make it a thousand :-)

Posted via CrackBerry App / LOU LIZARD S.F.GIANTS / S.F.49'ERS ON MY BLACKBERRY Q10
As expected all have been taken.
But doesn't BlackBerry 10.3.0 and higher already have a Data collector for you? No disrespect to the developer but why would I pay for something that BlackBerry offers for free?

Yeah I'm using it right now and it seems to work good, but doesn't record talk time or SMS. I have unlimited talk and text so this app is not much use for me with 10.3.

Missed it! Maybe next time. Thanks for offering, free is always great!

I prefer fire chest. It is more satisfying to the eye and does a fine job keeping track.
Posted via CB10
Jeez everything's gone!
Posted via CB10
Just get Usage Pro by Firechest, it's the best :)

Had it on app launch. But don't use it anymore as it is baked into 10.3
don't find the SMS and call counter useful for myself
Swiped from my Z10

I am using data usage counter right now, which works a threat ;) Anyway,good promotion! It is always good to have something monitors your data headless, even if with 10.3 all those apps will prbably become useless: data monitor provided by BlackBerry ;)
But this one include SMS and phone calls monitor which are not provided by BlackBerry
Love my Z10 looking for its successor or go for Z30 when the price is right for me
I see :) Thx for info!
I believe Data Usage Counter also monitors calls and texts as well.
