   Hello Rob!   
      
   ** On Saturday 09.08.25 - 09:10, you wrote to me:

   And with the ability for the sending party to spoof a number,     
   an international message can probably appear to be domestic.   
      
   It's a shame that the phone companies can't detect and block     
   spoofed numbers - or won't?   
      
      
    AA>> I've got quite good bonus data by now with Lucky too..   
      
    RM> Yes, technically my plan only came with 10 Gig of data but with   
    RM> the added bonuses it brings it up to 16 Gig.   
      
   The auto-topup is the biggest chunk of bonus out of my base     
   20GB though = 5GB.  Then the 6mo and 12mo add another 2GB  for     
   a total 27GB   
      
      
    AA>> The only thing that bugs me is that with the $29 plan, I now

   By minimum I mean "the lowest that will cover the cost of the     
   selected plan".  I think there are $15 and $25 picks, but I     
   can't use those.   
      
      
    RM> Too bad they don't apply that against your regular bills..   
      
   I can't understand why they can't "automatically" draw any     
   partial amount from the balance when required.  Instead, I     
   would have to disable auto-topup first which would cancel my     
   5GB "auto-topup" bonus!
