Thanks, that's helpful. It sounds really good for my use case, which is in areas where T-Mobile especially has good coverage, and very little data usage.

One thing: aren't you worried about the security implications of connecting to some random, open wifi point? A VPN won't prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.

For the phone, I'm torn. I like the idea of a Pixel 2, but the LG G7 ThinQ is actually cheaper: it's a higher base cost ($750 vs. $650), but they're running a special right now where you get a $300 credit on your bill if you buy one.
