If you would show an $80 1 GB plan, I could see where your point would be valid. As it is, the website says you can purchase 1 GB of data with the $80 REFILL card. NOWHERE does it state that is the ONLY thing you could purchase with it. By looking at the available prepaid plans from Verizon, the ONLY plan which lists a 1 GB tier is a prepaid tablet and that sells for $20. That leave $60 of your $80 card left over for future purchases.
