 Compare your fiscal monthly expenditures with before and after:

• With the Messaging Feature Package, no Google Voice, and no cellular data feature package:  $20-month anywhere messaging = baseline
• Without the Messaging Feature Package with Google Voice and 10MB-month cellular data feature package: $5-month = $15-month savings with balance rollover
• Without the Messaging Feature Package with Google Voice and 100MB-month cellular data feature package: $15-month = $5-month savings with balance rollover

Note that messaging data payloads are infinitesimal as they are simply text payloads with up to 140 charaters each.  10MB for $5-month will more than cover your messaging to-from Google Voice servers when outdoors.  But if you want to go gonzo, and have extra cellular data for other uses outdoors, then get the 100MB-month package.

Just a comment, instead of going with the $15/100MB data package, what you could also do is alternate loading of the $25/500MB and $5/10MB packages. For the same $30 for two months, you get 510MB data instead of just 200MB. Since the $25 load is good for 90 days, you could go Month1: $25/500MB, then Months2-4: $5/10MB. That gives you 530MB data for $40 and you still have $10 leftover you can use for voice.
