Re: Unlocked UK IPHONE 5, which US sim only contracts are available?
With my phone service, I have a UPS (provided by my phone provider) to keep my internet services running when / if a power outage occurs.
Indeed, my service would cost MORE if I did not take a phone line as that way I benefit from 'triple play' discounts. So not having a phoneline could cost people more bizarrely enough.

What's UPS, by the way?

In our part of the US the electricity & cable TV (Internet) all run on the same poles, so an outage due to a falling tree or broken pole results in both going down regardless of the battery system. We are also on a well so when the power goes the water goes as well (not fun).
Our UPS also 'chirps' when the power is out, which is incredibly annoying.

BTW, T-mobile limited data plans simply drop you down to "3-G" if you hit the limit. My understanding is that AT&T bills you.
BTW, the T-mobile business plan is now to separate the charge for the service and purchase of the phone.
My OH has an old POTS mobile, she uses a T-mobile SIM with 1000 minutes good for one year. It is far the cheapest rate for her purposes.

T-Mobile drop your service to EDGE (2G) after you hit your soft limit.
AT&T PrePaid cuts off your data, but allows you to buy an extra GB for $10 if you are on their $60 plan.
