God, I can't believe yet another dog fight with Verizon!  I changed to
automatic billing but they skipped a month because I set the automatic
withdraw date to be 4 days after I signed up for automatic, and that was
too close for their system to manage.  So then I get a weird sci-fi
automated phone call telling me I'm close to loosing my service!  Holy cow,
how do they stay in business?!  I could whittle you a better system than
they have.

BUT while going through this weirdness (which got settled by their
suspending the auto, paying manually .. over the phone .. for *2* months,
then picking up the autopay in April!!) I started looking at my account and
data plan.

I appear to pay less than most folks.  My monthly is $68/mo:

$30 voice (450 min)
$30 data (2GB)
$0 txt (pay as you go)
$8 Tax & services.

I recall from earlier conversations many of us pay a lot more.

But what amazes me that I don't use anywhere near that amount of data, even
tho I've started using the phone for radio (NPR, BBC, etc) quite a bit.

Do you folks use 2G/month?  I gotta presume the only way to do this is to
start using it for video -- TV & Movies.  Is that right?  Maybe games?

I know there was a huge ballyhoo over the lack of "unlimited" data but
apparently 2G *is* unlimited for primitive me!
