Once you ran out of data, your carrier charges you for every extra MB. The problem? You are unsure when you reach the limit. Our solution? Databit. Databit allows you to visualize in real time your data usage. Just swipe right on your device’s lock screen or tap to open the app. Making use of your device’s 64-bit architecture, Databit delivers a precision up to 1 byte, the same precision used by your mobile carrier. Is your mobile carrier really honest? We hope so, yet you can’t be sure. Not tracking your data consumption allows mobile carriers to charge you extra for nothing without you even knowing. Or what’s worse… are you paying for a service you are not using at its maximum? If your data usage is way lower than your plan’s limit you can downgrade to a smaller plan. That’s an instant money saver your mobile carrier doesn’t want you to know. We’ve received over 1,692 emails from people from around the world telling us their concerns, data plans, experiences with mobile carriers and app feedback. The result?
