I have an old TracFone, aka CrapFone. My sister has one too, and it recently stopped working when her city switched on 5G. I’m out in the boonies, so no 5G yet. I’ve been thinking of switching to a Walmart phone. Are they the cheapest? I only need it for the rare emergency and when traveling by car — in case I need to call AAA. What is the absolute cheapest option? Perhaps a “burner” phone?

Tracfones are still around $20 for 3 months service, if just needed rarely.

Plenty of deals on newer phones.

I use a TracPhone, I think they go for around $10 or so. I like mine, no nonsense phone, simple flip phone. I’m on auto pay so I get five hundred minutes a month for around $17. To let you know how much I use it, I’ve over 50,000 minutes that have built up over the years I’ve had it. The minutes roll over so you never lose them.
