Hi Rod, I'm in a similar situation & I figured the $180/365 day recharge had to be the best:
It works out to only $15/month so it's cheaper than the lowest 30 day recharge It gives you an AVERAGE of 1GB/month - the same as the lowest 30 day recharge It allows you to have several low use months plus one or two high use months - so long as you stay below the 12GB total If you take off for a while, you can use a bit more data and use it as a mobile hotspot for your iphone &/or laptop and it will all average out with your normal (low) useage. Well, that's my thinking anyway ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
