Requirements

v1

Consumption controls

  • User can turn mobile data usage ON/OFF

Consumption/Cost monitoring

  • A additional component of the utility tray that enables the user to monitor pre-paid credit and usage.
    • User can monitor remaining credit
    • Easily quantify credit in real-world usage
      • $[x] credit remaining
        • [x] messages
        • [x] email
        • [x] hours browsing
          • (? this is going to be a difficult one to quantify. mb remaining would make more sense, though i dont think your average user understands this value)

v2

  • Consumption monitoring
    • Telephony & Messaging
      • User can track incoming and outgoing voice minutes
      • User can track incoming and outgoing sms and mms messages
    • User can adjust warning thresholds for consumption limits
    • User can set reset for consumption limits manually or on a scheduled basis
  • Data
    • User can restrict heavy-bandwidth interactions (eg: app updates) to specific pre-conditions (eg: "update only when connected to WiFi")
    • User can quickly adjust connectivity settings
    • User can track data consumption totals (eg: Android's Settings > Data Usage feature)
    • User can track data consumption (both total, and per-app)
    • User can limit data consumption (both total, and per app)
    • User can be warned when close to the limits

Application Controls

Service usage may be further adjusted by in-application settings.
