And yet still a vast improvement on the old model of "you went off airplane mode, please sell your plasma while applying for a second mortgage."

@wjrii @JohnnyCanuck Way Back When(TM) I worked at a telco, we had a customer go over seas on a sales trip, used his phone like normal, and then came home to a phone bill up around $35k.

I don't know how much he made while overseas, but he wasn't *that* upset about the phone bill, outside of him kicking himself for forgetting to get a data pack.
