What a bunch of hooey.

Cell phones have gone through the roof.

The *******s.

Plans.

Locked in for forty years.

Can't change without paying a penalty.

Can't call this guy and that guy because he is "not on your plan."

And every time you call the cell phone company, they have a sexy nice
person that sells you two of the latest models of cell phones at a
reduced rate, and then in two to three months, your bill goes up $20
......... $30.

What's the answer?

I could toss my cell phone in the wood stove and never miss it. They
are a bother. Maybe if it's making me money, I'd have one with a
business line. But this personal line phone thing has gotten way out of
hand. It's so complicated, no one can understand all the stuff about
minutes and plans and people outside your plan and calls on Tuesdays,
Fridays, and Saturday afternoons.

Go to Wally World and buy a prepaid phone and toss it?

Help!

Trac Fone works for me. I use the motorola 124G phone. Pay as
you go, no plans, no contracts. Runs me about $8 a month for my
needs. Been with them for 3 years, no complaints.

Tom.

T-Mobile prepaid costs me about $50 to $60 per year.

I went with tmobile prepaid because after you put your first $100 in minutes
on it any unused minutes are good for a year and roll over with any refill
before expiration.

I only carry one because you can't find a payphone any more. I don't give my
number to anyone and make calls infrequently.

The minutes aren't the cheapest but for emergency usage the long expiration
works out to the best value.
I can spend $10 a year to keep it active.
