I am losing my bag phone next month and I bought a "geezer phone"
(jitterbug). It is $10 a month and 35 cents a minute for folks like me
that use about 5 minutes a month. No texting, no weather, no MP3s.

Please say more about this $10/mo and 35cents a minute.

Sounds interesting to me -- only very rarely would a cell-phone
be useful for me (work at home), but the usual $70/mo for something
I'd never use seems pretty insane to me.

Thanks,

David



If Sprint has coverage in your area, I'd recommend a prepaid Virgin
Mobile over a Jitterbug. It works out to about 8 bucks a month for me.
You can buy cards to keep it topped up, or set it to top up from a
credit card automatically every 60 days or when it dips below 20 bucks,
whichever comes first. That was the plan 4 years ago when I signed up- I
hear they have others now, but never bothered to look into them. But
I've been happy with the service, reliability, and seldom run into dead
spots. I have heard plenty of horror stories about Jitterbug.
