免费短信 (Free SMS)

监控您的每月移动使用情况 (Monitoring Your Monthly Mobile Usage)

If you’re puzzled on why you keep exceeding your talk time or sms allowance, then you might want to monitor your mobile usage with Droid Stat.

如果您对为何继续超出通话时间或短信限额感到困惑，那么您可能希望使用Droid Stat监视您的手机使用情况。

Droid Stat’s setting screen consists of four menu: the monthly limit menu, the billing menu, the application setting menu, and the actions menu.

Droid Stat的设置屏幕包含四个菜单：月度限制菜单，计费菜单，应用程序设置菜单和操作菜单。

The monthly limit button lets you configure your phone allowance, the billing button lets you configure your phone charges, and the application settings button is where you can set Droid Stat to warn you when you are about to reach your monthly allowance.

Once you’re done setting up your monthly allowance, head over to the “Application Setting” screen, and set Droid Stat to send notifications when you are about to exceed your monthly limit.

设置完每月津贴后，转到“应用程序设置”屏幕，然后将Droid Stat设置为在您即将超出每月限额时发送通知。

Sometimes, despite all of our best and honest efforts, we still exceed our monthly mobile allowance. The best thing we can do is to evaluate our monthly mobile usage, and pick a different plan to accommodate our average monthly mobile usage.

有时，尽管我们尽了最大的努力和诚实，我们仍然超出了每月的移动津贴。 我们最好的办法是评估我们的每月移动使用量，并选择其他计划来适应我们的平均每月移动使用量。
