Not exactly (as in from the phone company or something) but most phones do log the values for you -- just have to remember to reset the counters on the phone on your billing day...
Think they should introduce online bills (but prolly find they'd loose money as we'd all track our minutes better)...

wot do u think? lol its all calculated at the end of the month.
Im on orange, it tells me how many minutes i have left, but it doesnt tell you ur txts or wap mins until the end of the month. On some newer phones there are counters.

i pay £30 for my contract, plus an £8 text bundle (which pays for 120 texts)
I get 200 free minutes which I can use at anytime and if I don't use them all they get carried over.
I am with Orange and I got a 8310 free...

I'm with T-Mobile... for £50'ish a month i get 500 mins to any line at any time and 200 txts. I just have to ring 150 to find out how much time ive got left, and how many txts ive got left. It also tells me my bill charge.
