HELP NEEDED

Well there goes my TracFone but I need help finding an alternative. Don’t use a cell much, definitely don’t text or tweet.

well, my landline phone bill is $7.00 bigger than it was last year. 40% of the bill is surcharges and taxes.

I am getting rid of cell phones. Everybody follow me.

I don't understand your logic here, kindly explain?

My husband has a cell phone plan that costs us $50 bucks
a month. 2 cells phones flip type nothing fancy. I used
9 minutes last month. I just have no reason to have that
thing glued to my ear or thumbs like most of the people
I see under 40 these days. What is so important that they
have to be on phone or tweet 90% of waking hours?

I agree with you, but having one for emergency purposes is a good idea in my book.

The modern purpose of taxes is to milk the taxpayer to pay for your election.

Slim made his money the old-fashioned way in the 3rd world - government imposed monopoly. This is the problem with wealthy 3rd worlders. They’re not self-made in an American way.

I’m one of the many senior citizens who carry a cell phone only for emergencies. I don’t stand in the cereal aisle at the supermarket and shout questions into a phone to my wife at home, such as “Do we like the honey-nut Cheerios or the plain?”

Since I use only 5 or 10 minutes a month, an expensive monthly plan makes no sense for me. I was happy to find Tracfone, which fit my needs perfectly.

However, now I have learned that I’ve been giving aid and comfort to the enemy. If I were Japanese, I’d be reading “Hari-Kari for Dummies” in order to learn the most painful method to disembowel myself. But, since I’m of the Caucasian persuasion, I will merely dump the Tracfone (when my minutes run out—I’ve already paid for them) and seek a reasonable alternative. Maybe I can tie a long string between two cans, in case I have a serious question for my wife while purchasing Corn Flakes.

I have net 10 but I found out that is a subsidiary of Tracphone. Hmmm looking into maybe AT&T $50 a month?

That would mean that my 2 calls a month ("Sorry, I'll be a few minutes late--I'm stuck in traffic," and "Our plane just landed--meet us at baggage claim.") would cost 25 bucks apiece.

Thanks for your post. Let me know if you find a suitable phone.
