I've been looking at what I want from my replacement phone service. I see two possibilities.
1) a very simple Pay as you talk, for the little I normally use a phone this is a cheap service can expand in those odd month where I go crazy with my mobile.
2) a decent phone with a data package which would allow me to cancel the landline broadband at home.
My preference would be for option 2. The only reason I have a landline at the moment is because of the broadband connection but there is a problem.
I've found lot's of Mobile Companies offering Unlimited Data packages except that once you start reading the Terms and Conditions none of then are really Unlimited, most are limited to about 1GB/month which is fine for email and a bit of web surfing but no good if I add gaming and downloads to monthly bandwidth usage.
Which leads me to question;what is the point of 3G services if you can't have a reasonable data plan?
I suppose the Mobiles would argue that the point of 3G is really video calling but I'm not intrested in video calling and I'm certainly not interested in downloading and watching the latest Big Brother or Football clip.
So l guess I will have to continue renting two communication services even though I could use 1 service if the terms and conditions were abit more favourable.
Grrr.
