It seems to be called VMC Lite.

I suppose aside from my previous enquiries I'm also wondering about
'budgeting' gb usage as apparently Updates don't show up on the
meter. Couple of months use and I'll know, and I do visit my parents
regularly enough to save a few downloads for when I'm there, ha, but I
may find I can do everything without going over the 3 gb limit.
