In article , says... Check out the Tracfone stuff at Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/search/?quer...ahead=tracfone My wife has an LG and it's pretty good. It was around $50. We buy a year card with lots of voice minutes and text, plus 1.5G of data. Plus they are running a special on the data: https://www.tracfone.com/serviceplan...1S1_01_EP_wk06 Not bad for someone who isn't a big user or in a house where there is a full feature smartphone. I looked at some of the Tracfone stuff before and checked out that one. The ammount of talk and text is ok, but the data is not. For about the same price I can still go with the Mint Mobile and get unlimiated talk/text and 3 gb of data each month. I don't care about the text as in about 10 years of service I think I may have sent 10 text messages and those were mainly becaues I could not get a phone call to my children. I am mainly looking for the 'best' phone for under about $ 130 or so that uses the Android system. You can buy a data card to add. I think they are only $10 or $20. |

Not to blame the Mint people. I sent off for a 3 month trial and the Fedex package with the sim card came from California in about 2 or 3 days. Not bad as I am in NC on the other side of the US. Several days before that I had ordered a phone off ebay. It was sent out right away by the tracking. It has been laying around at a post office for the last week that is about 40 miles away. Maybe I will get it sometime next week. The mail has gone today and it did not show up. I reminds me of a small package a friend sent to me that was bout 50 miles in the other direction. A small relay about the size of a couple of the Bic butane lighters. Took it about 3 weeks from the time he sent it to get here. I know he gave me the right date he sent it by the post mark on it. I have 3 other packages to arrive here I bought this week. One from Amazone that was about $ 30 and contained 3 bottles of vitiamins, one from Belks that had 2 boxes of bath powder, and an ebay item that is the size of a usb memory stick. Two packages were left on my porch and the other in the mail box. Tracking details USPS tracking #9400108205496067440876 Feb 15, 2020 7:05am Arrived at Post Office CHARLOTTE, NC 28204 Feb 14, 2020 12:00am In Transit to Next Facility Feb 11, 2020 3:13am Arrived at USPS Regional Destination Facility MID CAROLINA-CHARLOTTE NC DISTRIBUTION CENTER Feb 7, 2020 4:53pm USPS in possession of item TROY, MI 48099 Feb 7, 2020 12:06pm Wow, that's the worst I've seen at usps. Figures it would be something that you're anxious to get too. I hope it's not damaged. |

Figures it would be something that you're anxious to get too. I hope it's not damaged. I have had that hapen a couple of times over the years. Most times it is something I want in fast so I can get started. I had a small package come in to a town 50 miles north, pass by my town and go to Charlotte which is 40 miles south this week. It was ordered off ebay on Monday and arrived Friday . About the same general area of the country the phone is comming from. When I was in Zambia back in the 70s I recieved a parcel from home - postmarked 3 days before I got it- by "surface mail" - Elmira Ontario to Livingston Zambia. It took me longer to get there flying Toronto to London to Nairobi to Lusaka to Livingston. Three weeks later I got an airmail letter telling me to expect the package - postmarked 3 days before the package was sent - - - - - The package must have just hit every point at EXACTLY the right time, and the letter must have stuck in the bottom of the mailbag and gotten a few free trips across the Atlantic - - |
