The problem with that is that the user can't depend on the 700 minutes.
After he hits the limit, the plan has a price more like $280 per month
($0.40 per minute). So he's going to waste some finite number of minutes
every month to avoid hitting the limit. I suppose it's a matter of skill
or luck as to how few minutes get wasted.
