If you want all that & would consider changing to Optus, their $59 cap 
plan gives you $700 in calls per month, unlimited SMS & MMS's per month 
& 2GB of data for internet per month, all for $59 per month. After 
you've used all that, then you start paying extras, but going on what 
you've said, I don't thing you'll be using all that every month. Maybe 
one of their cheaper cap plans might even suit you better?
