Do you worry about how many minutes you have left on your cell phone plan? Maybe you worry more about your wife or children's minutes used and left. After all - all it takes is one huge phone bill to make you nervous and not want to go over.

Some carriers send alerts via SMS to your device but now there is a service to monitor accounts and avoid extra charges on cell phone bill. The service is called OverMyMinutes, it is web based and it lives at www.overmyminutes.com. After you sign up and verify your account you will see a configuration screen that looks like this one (phone number and email address has been omitted on purpose).  It will monitor you account and  automatically alert you with a free text message or email when you are about to run into overages on your cell phone plan.
