   Hello Rob!

   I recently needed to test an international text to an     
   australian visitor at my shop.  It took a few retries wrt to     
   the proper numbering scheme (like dropping the 0 in the area     
   code!)  ..but Lucky eventually delivered it!  The delay was     
   several minutes for our messages to exchange.

   That's the "unlimited" part of Luckymobile that I like too.      
   Even when throttled, it's still good enough to check email or     
   poll for echomail.

   I've got quite good bonus data by now with Lucky too. They have     
   a bonus for 6mos, and another for 12mos,  plus I get the basic     
   auto-topup bonus and yet another "auto top-up bonus - 512MB     
   when registered".   
      
   The only thing that bugs me is that with the $29 plan, I now     
   have a surplus of $1 accumulating each month with my minimum     
   $30 auto-topup!  I'm now up to $16 of a "balance". The only way     
   I can force Lucky to use the balance is if I turn off auto-top     
   for a month.
