These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written.

Call Minutes Pro

Normally $4.99.

Paying too much for cell phone over usage? Take control over your phone bill.

Call Minutes Pro tracks your minute usage in real time, so you don’t have to.

Unlike other apps, Call Minutes Pro doesn’t require you to dial phone numbers within this app to track the usage.

It’s all automatic. That’s right. Call or receive your calls as usual, and this app tracks your minute usage, all automatically.

It measures the true usage after a phone call. So you know how many minutes you used immediately after your call, or during on a live call. And, not a day after, or not a month later, as reported by your phone company.

Also, it measures an unlimited number of live, joined calls or conference calls.

Open this app once to set your bill cycle date and set your monthly limit. And, that’s all.

Just make your calls as you would. Open this app once a while to see how many minutes you have used so far in this month.

The app tracks cell minute usage by day, night, weekend and monthly.

For ATT users, it tracks rollover minutes.

It provides Call History and Call Locations too.

*Call Minutes Pro uses GPS in the background, and it may consume your battery. Although we optimized the battery usage by this app, we highly recommend our users to fully charge their iPhones before starting a new day. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
