It needn't be a capped plan. I'd like to see the $60 (or whatever your budget
may be) cover a set number of minutes or calls, with each message reducing that
by 25/50 cents or whatever the providers charge for SMS and MMS messages.

So, if $60 gives me say, 100 minutes (more like 70 mins with Telstra) then as I
spend money on messaging, then the available number of minutes or calls are
reduced accordingly.

Yes, I know. And Quota (the Android app) handles that. It's just that it doesn't
handle charges for SMS/MMS in conjunction with mobile calls.

There really isn't much out there. Quota is the best that I've seen, so far.
There may be better ones, perhaps in the iPhone market, but I've not seen them.

I was using a different Usage Meter app, but it takes a fair bit of configuring
to set up. But then it doesn't look at your actual billing. Rather, it monitors
the phone's call logs and presents that data gleaned that way.
