Thanks. I really don't use that much data. I hate typing on the phone so I rarely use social media on the phone. When I travel, it is mainly used to find directions / transit schedule / transactions (tickets) and keep in touch while I am on the go (which I try to avoid - still have the old people attitude that I will talk to you when I am home - that is why I still have Vonage ).

This is why I don't see the need of these regular monthly plans. It will be a waste of money for me.
