We’d have to pay an early termination fee to AT&T, unless anybody knows a way around that! Our contract is up in March and we will be switching to the $30/month Straight Talk plan at Walmart. We don’t have a home phone, so we will keep the cell phones.
For somebody that doesn't use a cell much, you can't beat a hundred bucks a year.
You might want to try T-Mobile also. It’s not as cheap as Walmart, but if you don’t need to use your phone 24/7, it’s not a bad deal!
I got a couple of decent $150 Nokia/T-Mobile phones on sale for $99 each 4 years ago. I paid for two $100 cards to get “Gold” status on the minutes, plus it’s only 10 cents a minute if you buy $100 worth at one time.
After you put the intial $100 down, you don’t have to do a thing for a year. At the end of a year they’ll send you text messages reminding you that your year will be up on whatever date you charged up on.
All you have to do is buy $10 worth of minutes before your year is up, to keep ALL minutes you have for another year. So once you’ve purchased your phone, you’re basically paying $10 a year to have a cell phone (plus whatever calls you make at 10 cents a minute).
Between my wife and I, it’s cost us LESS than $50 for FOUR years of cell phone use!
We don’t use the phone for chatting though, get to the message and “See Ya!”! If you’re not a “chatter” this is the way to go IMO!
