What alternative universe is this guy living in?
The last of our daughters got married in May. At the very nice wedding reception (which Dad helped pay for), I reminded the family that our family plan cell phone contract, which I had been talked into getting when the first went off to college in 2005 was up for renewal in June.
Many people don't keep cars, let alone cell phone plans for eight long years. Since they had all found responsible conservative men as partners and no longer needed Dad's health insurance plan, they certainly wouldn't need the cell phone plan either. They all agreed.
Getting rid of that damn cell phone was one of the most liberating things I've ever done. We bought a TracFone which we keep in the car and which requires we buy at least $20 worth of minutes every 90 days, but that's it.
$80 per year beats the hell out of $80 (or more) per month. If I need to get on-line while I'm away from home or the office, I carry a $150 Android device and free wi-fi places are never more than a few minutes away where my traveling needs take me. The other upside is that I get a nice 7" screen to read them on. Not as nice as my 22" screen at home or the office, but it beats the hell out of a 2" Smart Phone screen.
I’ve had Tracfones for years too & it’s usually all I need. If you use very few minutes, or have accumulated many, you can also buy the cheapest airtime card online for $9.99 & then when you get to the screen before payment, there’s an option to add 365 days for $49.99.
I am interested in your Android device ~ what is it called? Thank you.
We’ve bought three trackfones for our sons. We’ve never gotten one to work more than a week. I’ve got two on my shelf that have minutes but are good only for paperweights.
