I went to buy a new cell phone.

I asked the ~phone guy~, "I would gladly pay $100.00 extra for a phone
where I can enter my monthly minute allowance (350 daytime Mon to

Here in New Zealand we can call a free phone number and a robot tells us how much time we have left. I would be surprised if you didn't have a similar service available.
