Im in the same boat with ExMum - there really isn't a good plan here if you text :( I have the shahry 200 and I am always way over on my SMS and way under on my phone minutes...I never exceed my data minutes but I am usually in a wifi spot so my phone switches to that for data. It does help if your friends are using an iPhone with iOS 5 and you can sms via data minutes on iMessage but as much as I love my iPhone, I wish I had a BB here for BBM. I also have the mifi for 320 qr/mth unlimited data so if I am going to be out a bit and needing data I take that with me so I don't use my data on my phone plan. I like having the mifi because I can use my iPhone, macbook, iPad, etc with it (up to 5 devices at once) I should really switch to Hala and then use my mifi for data... <em>edited by ccdoha on 22/12/2011</em>

I tried one of the Shahry packs and found it to be much more expensive for my needs. As I recall I vastly exceeded the internet/email usage, vastly underused the number of minutes, and exceeded the number of texts. It was a total mismatch for me. I ultimately went with the QR300 annual fee for the "pay as you go" plan and added the QR100 internet usage (I receive/send a LOT of email) and have been happy ever since.

Any Shahry plan based on calls and SMS usage, then add the QR 50 mobile Internet pack. I have Shahry 200, my son had 130, and we each have Internet add-on. I feel like I access the Internet on my iPhone all the time, and have never exceeded the allotment (can't remember how much it actually is) with the Internet pack. I check mail, fb, EW etc. I generally try not to do serious downloading unless I'm in wifi, but definitely have done so on occasion...
