There is a separate "Data Usage" page for usage outside of the allowance

If they want to be arsey, ask how much they charge for a request for
information under the Data Protection Act - the most they can charge
for that is £10 (I think the most a credit reference agency is allowed
to charge is £2 but most try to get around that by signing up newbs to
"credit alerts" for considerably more...)

You should be able to include any and all data you want under the same
request, including a breakdown of costs, calls made, IMEI number
associated with each call, all billing and customer information they
hold on you, and so on.

I find that you sometimes have to log out of the My3 page and back in again
to get remaining amounts

3 billing has been generally very accurate for me in recent years
