Ok I'm going off topic...
Jan, there are a lot of phones nowadays that are wifi-enabled. I have a "smart" phone, but I only pay $10 a month for it. I get unlimited calls and texts, and I have no data
unless I'm near wifi. Since I have wifi at home and work, I essentially get unlimited data 95% of the time, with no overage charges or throttling.
I honestly didn't think I would use data all that much, but now there are so many things I can get done via the internet without having to leave my home. (For instance, I now do all my banking - pay bills, make deposits, etc - via my phone.) When my laptop crashed, it was really nice having another device that could access internet and email until I could buy a new laptop.
