How do I check my data usage

I have an XT micro sim in my iPad on a pre pay plan.

How do I check my data usage given that I can't use a cellphone to dial up for this info.  Is there a way to check it online, or an app perhaps, to monitor the usage, or both?

 

Also, how do I get the XT logo in the top left corner of the screen, instead of "Telecom" half showing.  I have read about using the Telecom bundle to achieve this, but can't find any instructions or a link to it.  Is there a way to do it manually?

Data usage – go to your telecom

For the logo –

Just so you know, for both these questions I couldnt remmeber the links, s googled them

"How to get data usage on XT" and "XT Carrier Bundle Manual settings" or something like that.   Google is quicker than I am :-)

Actually, you currently *can't* check your data usage on Telecom without calling in on 0800 32 32 32.

 

This is because to use the online check – you need a password which is sent via a TXT message to your "mobile"… but of course, the iPad SIM card can't receive a TXT msg – so you can't get a password.

 

I have spoken to Telecom Internet customer services reps, and they are aware of this issue, and Telecom is trying to come up with a solution.

 

Until then, the only option is to phone in manually.

Yep – thats the way.  Once you have the one text you are set.
