Some countries charge per MB. Some charge per minute (very dial up). Some charge per session. Some charge flat rate – but have a limit. Which is the easiest to understand? Which is most useful? Depends on the person, their technical knowledge and their societal expectations.

I fully expect that, in the future, there will be 2 main models.
1) PAYT – 10p per minute / text / MB.
2) Super Contract – £80pm for unlimited (international/roaming) calls, texts, data.
