I'm sure there are companies who will offer you an "unlimited" service
for a fixed monthly cost, but you won't want to pay the prices they will
demand.
You are asking to pay a fixed price for a product and described your
usage to suggest that you will be running up large bills for the telco -
in the same way that you will have a hard time getting a cheap
"unlimited" broadband service, you will find it difficult to find a
company willing to subsidise your telephone calls.
