So what prevents you from opting for a Postpaid? Cost?

Instead of buying a plan that covers my needs (with high charges for going over) or paying high fees for unlimited, I only pay $6/month/line and we add on each month for the service we actually used that month. I recently took a trip to San Francisco and needed to use Waze (GPS) quite often, so my Data charge went up from my normal $3 for 100 Mb to $10 for 500 Mb for that month only, then it drops back to my normal $25 for two lines (My wife and I). Our average bill is less than $30 a month.
Here in India, we have data top-ups like for 100 MB, 200 MB but they turn out to be more expensive than a regular plan, so most people go for regular plans from vendors like Airtel etc.
However, after the launch of very aggressive Jio(owned by Mukesh Ambani- Asia's richest and one of the richest in the world too), Airtel (I am not aware of others) started a facility where left over data for a month rolls on to the other month.
For e.g- If I have a total balance of 3.6 GB for October and only use 1.2, then my November balance would be :
3.6 + (3.6-1.2) = 6.0 GB !!
And anyways we are now a days using data more than voice calls.
