dont tell me a cell phone costs $350-450 without a contract. there is no way period.
I'm with you. Go to Walmart and check out the prices on pre-pay phones. I had a VZ Wireless prepay phone that got dunked in water and fried. Had about 12 hours of prepaid rollover minutes saved. The first CSR says too bad, want to sign up with a real plan and we'll send you the phone. Didn't but stewed about it a little.
Long story short, the second CSR said go to Walmart, buy a phone, then call in and have your account switched over to it. Saved the minutes.
A year later, same thing happened. Nice little Samsung phone w/ camera, $50. Ok so this might be a closeout on last year's model, but who cares? All I want to do is dial out and receive a call. The little announcement at the beginning tells me I am up to 23 hours of daytime talk time. 
In case you're wondering, I pay $15 per mo. for 100 minutes, and as long as I renew before the 30 days is up, they roll over.
My plan is: $50 for the phone, $15 per month, period. |
