Yes, when I get the landline ISP all up and running (next
Thursday/Friday, I think), I might start 'playing' with my Mobile Phone
account .... see what happens if I buy 'Mobile Data' and connect my
Computer via the Mobile Phone.

I purchase my 'plan' from Aldimobile .... you know, the Grocery
Supermarket firm!! Her in Australia, they use the Telstra Mobile
Network. Telstra is the major Australian Landline Phone Service (used to
be Government owned!!)
As for my 'plan', 'Pay As You Go'!! If I make zero phone calls and don't
use any data, my $35 lasts for twelve months.
