I think this is a tough call.

For me.....yes.....I like the cushion of knowing I can go the salad bar and
eat all I want.

My analogy.

The pressure

Thanks

So, to answer my second question - lol

You are recommending that I get back on unlimited and pay the extra $5 (that
I just saved on messaging) to protect future data needs?

Thanks again, Mark

Right now - very few if any people 'normally' go over 2GB. Those who do are
rarely on WiFi, use a lot of audio and/or video streaming, etc OR are
'jailbroken' and are using tethering off contract terms. The problem is
that in the feature as apps become more data intensive and audio/video
streaming becomes more prevalent those with 2GB (or other) caps will have to
start being a lot more careful. Currently I have unlimited data plans on
Verizon and AT&T and intend to keep them unless I am forced off as I do use
quite a bit of data - my Verizon phone has the 'hot spot' feature so I can
use my iPad, MB Air or even iPhone WiFi to access the Verizon data network
and I do download and/or stream quite a few podcasts to my iPhone (I haven't
listened to my car radio or cd player since I got my original iPhone).
