Settings, General, Available will show usage of songs, videos, photos and apps as well as what capacity is available.

Look under Settings > Cellular Data

You'll probably need your account info, like your pass code, if it works like it does in the U.S.

This is the wrong info for what the OP is asking, seems to me. OP wants to check how much is left on his/her data plan.

There is an app in the US appstore called Data Usage. It monitors your usage on cellular. Can't say if you can get this app in some other country, though.

You can also log into your carriers website and check usage. I find that Data Usage is very accurate when comparing the two.

You can also try Settings | General | Celluar Usage, but I think you have to regular reset the usage for it to be accurate month-to-month. The Data Usage app lets you input your plan start day of the month and duration, and pops up to remind you to reset usage (it keeps its own tally). It also monitors Wifi usage in case you are on a metered plan for internet.

That's like for checking accounts and stuff. The app I linked will track the usage of your cellular plan. Let's say you pay $x for 1GB of data per month. This app will track how many GB you are using and let you know when you get close to going over. I think this is what the OP is asking for.

Thanks AQ_OC that is one nifty app. Downloaded and set up in no time at all. Now I can stop going over my limit and avoid the very expensive overage charges.

Yes, I believe what seemed to you seems to be in fact correct. My apologies to the OP for misreading his/her post. And thank you for correcting that on the OP's behalf.
