You'll need a Nexus 6 Initially (or pay for in only 24 easy monthly payments)

- so they're not pitching to iPhone users, yet

 

and the pricing of $20 + (GB used * $10) may only seem cheap because of how expensive / data non-PAYG other plans are ...

 

What usage patterns does this make sense for (in terms of TCO/coverage) , compared to say T-Mobiles $30/5GB plan ? 

 

But interesting to have a virtual / MVNO plan that allows roaming to provide extended coverage.

 

Thoughts?

As someone whose monthly data usage is in the 100 MB range, I can't wait to dump Verizon.

How do expect Google / The NSA to data mine you with such a limited data set. Unless such a "suspiciously" low volume would flag you up as as "a person of interest"

As someone who uses 20-30GB, and a OnePlus One, I signed up anyways... Just in case.

I know plenty of people this would be great for.
