Coverage is most important. I have several phones in my top drawer, I'll sell you a razor flip for $10, costs nothing a year. Because it doesn't work on Verizon any more.

coverage, can you work it? Does it meet your needs? Plan price. In that order.

I remember a few years ago my wife had to give up her keypad phone... Verizon didn't support 2g anymore. She almost cried. She loved that phone.

We’ve never had a problem with Verizon, and that’s our Internet provider.

We’ve never had a problem with TracFone either; but when Verizon bought TracFone Wireless, we were concerned that the kind of deal we were getting would go away. That was several years ago, and the plan remains the same, so...

The whole issue came up because our phones are old now, and we need to buy new ones; so we thought we’d look into whether a new plan would be better.

I got these for my kids:

They’ll connect to the internet, but it’s a smallish screen so... why?

So I bought them unlimited talk/text plans from tello.com that run me about $10 a month.

I can identify. Verizon hasn’t supported my BlackBerry with a physical keyboard for years, and I’m still pissed.
