What if our phone bills were readable, smart & good looking?
We've downloaded & analyzed 18 months of PDF phone bills data... and retrieved interesting information.
Over the month of November for example, Matt has been on the phone for about 5 hours, and he's made 140 calls.
To take the idea further and make this available to people, we've designed an online service concept.
After uploading PDF phone bills, the analysis would be made available on several different devices.

...the most called numbers...
...as well as the longest calls. That's always fun to be reminded about a call to an aunt that took over an hour!

In the featured case here, Matt's average consumption is 4.16 hours per month, whereas he contracted for a 10-hour deal…
