We do. I pay $30/month for 100 minutes (rarely used anymore) and 5GB LTE. If I have a busy month where I use a lot of minutes, I can add another 100 for $10 from my phone.
Only real complaint is that I can't do something similar for data. I have yet to go over 5GB in a month since I use WiFi at home and at work which covers probably 90% of my data usage. Still, I'd like to be able to do something similar to buying more minutes where I authorize another $10 payment from my phone and add another block of 1GB.
I think that's the biggest issue I have with these overages people deal with. Whereas my plan just drops me down to some useless rate like 128k/sec if I go over, they get nailed with huge charges.
All these bigger carriers need to do is cut you off and offer you the option to refill. They could even charge a premium over what you normally pay for data because perhaps you really need to stay connected. But it's one thing to use up the 5GB you bought for $30 and then have to pay $10 for another 1GB when you run out on the 25th. It's another to just let you keep racking up charges that are both exorbitant and often unknown to the customer until their bill is $100+ more than usual.
