I've had zero issues with virgin mobile's $25/mo beyond talk plan. After taxes, I pay $26.73/mo. Android-based phone with ssh client, text/email alerts, and 300 minutes of voice has been fine for my needs. I average 300MB of data a month. There are data limits on the 'unlimited' plans, like 2.5GB/mo or so. Interesting definition of 'unlimited', but exceeding them restricts you to 256KB/s rates until your next monthly period starts. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
