I'm in the process of looking for my next mobile and plan. For plans, I can have : 1- Unlimited (to 3 pre-chosen fixed numbers) 2- Unlimited web (as long as I don't leave my operator's WAP portal) 3- Unlimited web (as long as I don't use more than 500 megs/mo) 4- I'm sure there's a bunch of other unlimited plans I can choose from. I kinda empathize with people who run up huge bills because they thought their plans were unlimited, or that home was home. I think a soft cap is justified:
