With every UMTS/3G card comes a tool that tracks your connection information, your traffic and everything... and it looks like this for a Vodafone UMTS card:
That"s not even close to cute and well useable. So someone took the task and created this:
A small tool that is compatible with almost any available UMTS/3G hardware on earth and has these features:
tiny executable: 0.3 MB, very little CPU load
- permanently displaying:
- up- and download speed in kBytes/s, used data volume in kByte (with round option), used online time (with round option), mode of operation UMTS(3G)/GPRS, signal strength in percent and dBm, network name and cell id (if provided by pc card), homezone status
- movable mini window with information display:
- sitting on the task bar, at upper screen border, in front of the start button, as dynamic tray icon with gauges
- warning when exceeding data volume or online time
- optional beep output for signal strength,network change and cell change
- manual or automatic selection of network and mode
- optional warning when using not listet networks
- determination of receivable networks
- retrieve and charge prepaid credit
- automatics:
- start/terminate connections,start extern programs such as Browser or Ping, reconnect after errors/freezes, generate network entry, dynamic com port determination
- adjustable connection error tolerance
- connection test by "smart Ping"
- SMS reception can be activated
- PC remote-control by SMS
- SMS transmission by batch job
- logging of data volume and connection information
- connection statistics as semigraphics
- timer for program end or shutdown
- deactivate graphics compression (some networks)
- scriptable
- service terminal for data card commands
- shows data card netlocks
- service log for data card control communication

And the best of all is that this is a freeware tool. Unfortunately it"s not available for OSX.
