Get the bill from the service provider, they will be correct.

Even if the phone gprs counter is faulty, it does not affect your provider's charges in any way. Your network does not rely on your phone counter.

on the nokia are you adding the send and recieve figures together as you are usually charged for both sending and reciveing as a total figure.
cant remember how se gprs counter is configured if it has a send and recieve figure. |

fair enough i am on orange uk and using a nokia 6600 and if i add my send and recieve settings together at the end of the month my total is always within a few kb of whats on my orange bill.
did notice when i moved from my t610 to my current phone that i use more kbs per month but put that down to having a different orange homepage for smartphones
but it maybe how different phone handle things not to sure
you problem does sound strange though |
