It might be better just to scrape the telco's web interface using
WWW::Mechanize or equivalent (assuming that they have one; I know 3
does). You can be sure that it matches up with billing cycles and
different devices - and their measurement is the one that really
matters.

I notice that 3 are offering 15GB for £15/month. £1 a gigabyte is
pretty good value. But overage is charged at 10p/MB - that's £100 per
GB. A hundred times the cost! How anyone can devise these punitive,
sleazy, grasping pricing structures and still have any kind of self
respect is a mystery to me.

.. And that's why I have a pre-pay dongle.
