O2 Website: My Accounts Data Usage Gauge

[Asdic_Ping]

When I log into my account to see how much data I've used so far the gauge tells me I've used 2.9 MB but when I look into the more detailed breakdown of what I've used to date the total used is 21.88 MB. Why the big discrepancy? If it makes any difference I use a Blackberry handset on pay monthly. The only explanation I can think of is that it separates what I've used on O2 wap and what I've used on Blackberry.net. Any views appreciated.

Others have commented the same as you with Blackberry's. I assume it's due to the data compression that BB apply to their servers.

Thanks for the reply. Must be a Blackberry issue then, but could be misleading if you just look at the gauge to determine how much data you have consumed.
