Can someone tell me how much traffic a weatherupdate needs via GPRS?

'Cause I have to pay 2 € (little less than 3 $) per MB of GPRS....so I'd like to know how much this (very very nice) feature will cost me ;)

thxal & TIA

Hi there

As far as i know, it downloads sopmething like 10 - 20 KB per update, wich is not much at all!

Hope this helps!

(In South Africa we pay R 2.00 p/m, so i know, because i also check my traffic!)

I use a great program called SPB GPRS monitor, but its commercial.
Works out everything, costs p/meg and keeps logs of it. And has a nice today plugin aswell.

hey there!

New Problem....or better...now it is a problem....I can connect to GPRS (Full reception) but htc home can't download any information for my city...so i tried a diff. one...like NY...also didn't work....and Vienna / Austria (the one I want) also doesn't.

All it says is: "Unable to download information for your city. Please try again."


HELP!

TIA

You can use BatteryStatus, too. It has nice daily/monthly traffic counters :)
