I got a deal when I got my phone that gives me unlimited on device data
for $15/month (you have to add the fees, and have to have a voice plan
as well).

That said, I use my phone ALOT, get all my email on it, youtube videos,
tons of browsing, online streams and skype, and yet my LARGEST usage for
a month was 600MB. My average is more like 300MB/month.

I'd reevaluate what you plan to access with your mobile device, I don't
believe you'd use 3GB/month.
