摘要

A mobile communications device for use in a packet switched wireless communications network, for example GPRS, which is able to indicate an amount of data remaining 46 from a subscribed amount. This allows the user to see how much data can be sent or received within a prepaid subscription. The display may provide a graphical representation of the amount of data left. The mobile communications device may calculate the amount of data sent and received in such a way that it avoids double counting of retransmissions.
