Cell Plan Jiggery-Pokery

Thinking about cell phone plans again. As in, I need a better one.

I currently have Fido. I pay $15/mo for 50 minutes of local airtime and 50 outgoing text messages. I pay an extra $15/mo for Blackberry email and BBMessenger service (Twitter is not supported). An additional $6/mo goes to voice mail.
Lame.
I’d love to have twitter support, but that’s another $15 to add non-BBMessenger data. I may love twitter, but not that much.

I’m thinking of cutting out the voicemail entirely. As it stands now, anyone who calls my cell when I’m not there to answer it can just as easily send me a text message in lieu of a voice message.
Any downside to my plan of cutting out voicemail?

Wind and Mobilicity don’t cover Guelph yet.

    I would cut the Data. I’ll get my email at home and at work, and Andrea and I communicate via unlimited SMS. I’ve got a fido plan where I get 100 daytime minutes, unlimited eve/weekend, unlimited txt all for $25. I added on Call Display and VM for $10/month.

    I use Twitter via SMS (send to 21212 after setting up and only receive from people you really want to follow that bad).
