I've tried MiniMoni on my Tour, data usage was not captured even it's run on background.

Hi Guys...

Perhaps some of you already know theres a built in hidden command shortcut in a blackberry which can check your uptime, voice/data usage, etc
For who didn't know it i share it with you here. and i hope it will be usefull

To Check Your Device General Information:

At the home screen of your Berry
press: alt + shift + h

this is what gonna appear

Your PIN will be shown, but If the PIN: Suspended, means u can't use BlackBerry Internet Service. Don't Buy it!!!

To Check Your Device Voice/Data Usage:

A Brand New item should not exceed the limit

Go to: Options > Status > Type: BUYR (for qwerty KeyPad)

Go to: Options > Status > Type: BUZR (for qwertz KeyPad)

Definitely Brand New Device

Not Brand New

If The usage not exceed, perhaps is just for testing purposes

To Check Your Device Locked or Unlocked:

Well I hope it will be usefull for you guys... Happy Berry Hunting

I tried what you suggested and got the following results for my 5-days-old BB Bold 9000 supplied by Digi:
1) Data Usage: Exceeded 250k
2) Voice Usage: Exceeded 60 Minutes
What do these results mean?

just a quick question, how can we check whether a blackberry storm 2 is the 9550 or 9520 version... from the outside looks exactly the same.
