@dave-420 :The point of this plan is to save money - to save money and get the most benefit from this plan you have to learn to live within your means, that means not using more than what the plan allows you.
There are many ways to use your phone to call out and do everything the $50 plans do - to stay under your monthly 250MB, use only apps that don't use so much data, change your settings to turn off mobile data and turn off background data for all the apps you don't need on all the time, and of course use WiFi and turn off mobile data when using it.
To make calls and check voicemail etc, use free phone apps like Fongo only for dailing out, like calling your voicemail etc - Fongo less data than other free phone apps like textnow etc that waste your data with more ads etc. Of course wait till you have WiFi to make long calls.
Use your free text to get others to call you, or use apps that use less data like Signal Private Messenger to make calls and text.
The point of this plan is to save you money, my $15 plan started at $13 because of autopay and will be down to $8/month after 5 years because of loyalty rewards and because of referral rewards it will be down to $0/month soon - a free phone plan should be your goal which is only possible here at Public Mobile.
Because I use Wifi as much as possible and use Signal Private Messenger and Fongo, I never use more than 100MB each month. I use free text whenever I can, and for emergencies use Fongo and never use up my 100 outgoing minutes.
So, of your goal is to spend less money and have a usable cell phone too, Public is for you. If you don't want to worry about data and calling limits, you'll have to pay more for those conveniences.
