How limited is the coverage? Does the '3G' service coverage extend across
the same range as the conventional GSM cells?
I've checked out some more of the plans and they do seem reasonable, but
like all other mobile phone plans, the biggest cost is still steadily
becoming the flagfall charges moreso than outright plan costs to the user.
And the subsequent charges being levied for data (ouch!) and things like
video streaming, etc.
