Do you know if the Mobile Usage Current Period is the amount of time you have spent phoning people or the amount of time you have left of your allowance?

Hi,

I'm a new iphone owner and have a limit of 200 mins to use making telephone calls per month. I'm just wondering if the amount of time recorded in the 'Current Usage' box on the Mobile Usage screen is the amount of talk time I've used in the month or the amount of time I have left?

Thank you

As the phone has no way of knowing what your plan allowance is, it just shows how long you've been on calls. Keep in mind that not all calls are billable. My carrier doesn't count calls to customer service. So, if you had called customer service, it would show on the phone as usage but not on your bill as part of your allowance. Check to see if your carrier has an app in the App Store for tracking minutes. It will be much more accurate.
