Price per GB is not their main concern, but it's still pretty amazing that the price is far more than ten times higher than it could be.

I'm just pointing out that while this is about as good as you can get for 1MB, if you need perhaps 5MB there are better options, and god help you if you try to use 20MB on this plan.

You're treating it as if transfer is the only cost associated here. Every one of these lines requires consuming a telephone number, which is a fixed cost passed down from the MVNO

That's the $3 part.
