My balance on my paygo account has been quite steady at > $50 for a long time now. It’s not as high as it once was thanks to more day time calls and being charge 15¢ for each received text, but it’s not decreasing rapidly enough for me to use it up in case I need to pick up a contract.

I was racking my brain on how to use up my balance, when I had an epiphany. I could add the $7/mth unlimited data browsing plan onto my phone. With this, I could hopefully use up my balance in about 10 months, which is about the time Pauline’s cellphone contract expires and we can get a new one.

This “browsing” plan is supposed to be truly unlimited, but it’s a crippled data plan since you can only access ports 80 and 443. That means you can’t do ftp, shh, pop3 or imap on it. But that’s ok, because with a candy bar phone, I can’t really do anything.

(Unless, of course, that means I need to buy a more capable phone to take advantage of my plan!)
