This tab displays the total amount of airtime your phone has used since the beginning of the current billing cycle. In the example on the left the information is fully segregated into daytime, evening, and weekend minutes for both incoming and outgoing calls. There are various options you may select to combine certain of these elements to better match the way your plan is billed. Using the Billing Tab of the Options dialog you specify all of your billing information, including the day of the month on which you billing cycle starts, when evenings and weekends billing begins and end, and whether your provider bills you by the minute or by the second.

When the current month comes to an end, the values accumulated for the previous month are saved so that you can view them at your leisure throughout the current month. You can then compare it against you bill when that comes in the mail (or is placed online by your provider).

Regardless of how you choose to combine figures, they are always store independently. This allows you to un-combine figures at any time.

Keyboard Behavior

The right softkey will always say Back. Pressing this key returns to the Name Tab.

The left and right cursor keys are used to move to an adjacent tab. Right moves to the Log tab, while left moves to the Data tab.

Pressing the TALK key will dial the default phone number of the current contact. However, if the that contact doesn't have a phone number, but it does have an email address, then pressing TALK begins a new email message to the default email address. See the documentation on the #s and Emails tab for details on setting default numbers and addresses. Also see the section on Calling Cards for details on how numbers are dialed.

The END key sends the program to the background and returns the phone to the idle screen.

All other keys have no function in this tab.

Menu Functions

View Last Month: If you are presently viewing the current month's airtime usage, this item will appear in the menu, allowing you to view the airtime used last month.

View This Month: If you are presently viewing last month's airtime usage, this item will appear in the menu, allowing you to return to this month's airtime usage. Note that leaving this tab and returning to it will always redisplay this month's usage.

Airtime Options: This takes you directly to the Billing Tab of the Options dialog. It has been provided as a convenience.

Rebuild Counters: Opens a sub-menu with two options, which are This Month Only and All Counters. Normally you should never need to use this feature, but if for any reason you want ContactsEx to recompute the airtime figures based on the data in the log, this menu option will do so for you. Note that it can only rebuild these values based on the surviving log entries and Symbian S60 only stores a maximum of 30 days of log data. Bear this mind when choosing this function.

Exit: This option terminates the program.
