Part of the motivation for buying a modem out-right and use pre-paid
is that it doesn't tie us to any plan, plus we expect to use the
pre-paid modem very sporadically - in emergencies which happen when
the guy on call is out and just must access the network.
the down side of pre-paid is that the data expires fairly quickly.
a few gigs typically only has a 30 day expiry. larger data blocks tend
to last longer (up to 90 days on optus)
you can just whip out your credit card and buy a data block.
that may not sit well with the on call person... "heres a usb 3g modem,
just add your CC# and expiry date as needed"
