A cellular twist that I'd forgotten about...

Hi Folks.
Just read a thread at the Obi forum that reminded me of an option which may be worthy of trying out at some time...data only + VOIP.
Here is the link to that thread:

Of course since it seems that there is so little in low cost data services here in the US, it may not work out quite as wonderfully as the $15/month the poster has mentioned, but it is still a nifty concept to consider.

I guess it is time now to watch for whatever best deals may come around for AT&T based services with a very cheap data rate, and consider trying this idea out.

Any related & helpful thoughts on this topic will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Unreal Mobile SIM (AT&T) may be an option.

$14.99/3 months is a decent price depending upon what it costs to renew of course - but then...
I looked at the reviews.
Holy cow !!
Folks make this sound like a brother of FP with all the worst of that carried over.

Keeping my eyes open & looking around, as fortunately there is no hurry ATM.
Thanks.

Dennis Bournique's website Prepaidcompare.net may come in handy. You can browse by desired network (eg; AT&T) and options (eg; unlimited slow data). https://prepaidcompare.net

Possibly Red Pocket's $10 a month 1GB data only plan on AT&T---or the AT&T 2GB data only plan at $15 a month.
