It's for android and it's called 3G watchdog. I'm able to track data in settings on my iPhone.

Thats what we have been discussing here (if you read further up). There are a lot of carriers that sell "unlimited plans", but the fine print says "unlimited plan is up to 1.5 or whatever GB a month" and so on so it is not exactly "unlimited")
Not saying yours is like that necessarily but maybe if you stream netflixx 24/7 we can all find out
like 15-30GB Verizon can potentially bill you for stolen data as there is a paid Hot Spot app on the iPhone and Android phones.
Nice. As though texting while driving isn't dangerous enough...watching TV? Really?I do the same thing. I sometimes have to drive out-of-town and do night driving. Since the Interstates are pretty empty at night, I'll watch some Star Trek:TNG on Netflix on my iPhone. I just hold it in front of the steering wheel. -LOL-
*Rubs his chin* I wonder how much data I use like that on their network?

On a 7-hour drive on a dead Interstate late at night? Really. Should I be doing it? Probably not. Should I also not be talking on my cellphone while driving? Probably not. But I'm really, really careful when I do both.
It has been proven that texting while driving is twice as dangerous as impaired. I would relate this risk to watching TV on the iPhone as well.
I would tend to agree with you, but it depends on the circumstances. Texting while in the city or in traffic? Definite no. On a lonesome straightaway road with no one around? No so much. I wold never do this except for the fact that (1) it's an interstate highway and (2) it's dead.
I think we all either dial a virtual keypad to make a call while driving, or either hunt in the menus for that number to press, and this is also distracting - no less so than texting. It takes discretion to know when to do this. I think it's more a matter of common sense and knowing when to look and when not to look.
Risk is risk, if I am impaired on a lonesome straight away road with no one around, is that OK?
