Little math for you.  If you get the Data only package it is 54.99 then use skype out to make your calls at $0.02 then you get unlimited data, texting, etc and 1249 minutes for the same price as the 450 minute individual plan with unlimited data and you still have to pay for messaging so add another 250 minutes you could afford.  Wow that is actually not a bad deal.  I guess depending on how much you talk.  See for me that would mean losing my IN calling so calls to my wife are no longer free unless she had Skype too which she would being on a Verizon Blackberry.  So we could talk for free still.  Her family all has iPhones which has several Skype interfaces I am sure so she could even talk to her mom on her phone or her computer about anytime too.  You know this isn't sounding like a bad idea now.
