I use their free 4G service now.

Yes, there are 101 up-sells and add-ons that cost money. However, as long as you use that 5MB minimum none of them are surprises. The '$2 fee' you speak of is (as you implied) not so much a fee as 'recharging your prepaid card.' They we're upfront about it and they make it easy to disable.

Everything else is a GoDaddy style up-sell. Annoying, but very easy to ignore.

Other than the initial purchase I haven't paid them a cent.
