Unless you are fortunate enough to have your parents pay your cell phone bill (pansy), keeping track of your minutes used can be a pain.

It's pretty difficult to find how many you have used, unless you know a special keystroke with a proper keycode as long as your phone has been granted the proper security access and is transmitting from a safe location. Well, maybe it's not that hard. But there are cool Firefox extensions that makes it easier.

After some digging, I found Firefox extensions for the three largest cell carriers: Verizon, Cingular, and T-Mobile. These extensions just sit in the bottom right corner of your Firefox window and keep a running tally of your total minutes used. Quite nice if you ask me.

Save yourself some money:

Verizon Minutes Used Extension
Cingular Minutes Used Extension
T-Mobile Minutes Used Extension
