Skydeck – Manage Your Cell Phone Bill

November 10, 2008

Last Friday, I signed up for Skydeck, a free web service that connects to your cell phone provider and allows you to keep track of your cell phone calls and text messages. The service works great and here are some highlights of its features:

Easily find out who of your friends you call the most or receive calls from (or text messages)
Search your calls.
Track expenses and overages.
Weekly email notifications that let you know how many minutes and texts you have remaining.

The service is free and claims to be free for all current features going forward, although they may charge for new, premium features later on down the road.

Skydeck also offers an API for developers to leverage this data. The possibilities of this API are endless. This TechCrunch post covers 10 applications that could be developed using the API.

The service currently works with all major U.S. providers: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint/Nextel, and T-Mobile.
