We have been using Tracfones for 3 years. My little flipphone was hard to hear and needing a new battery so I it was time to get a new phone. HSN had an LG for $89 and triple minutes (1200 minutes X 3 and that was 3600 each for talk, text and data). A year plan is usually around $109 and the minutes roll over when the year is up. I keep the data turned off. I said if I ever got a smartphone, we wouldn’t get anywhere on time because I would be checking for caches the whole route. With the limited data, I’m not tempted to do that so it is working out great, got it if I need it. Usually get a discount when it is time to renew so for the past 2 years, it has been less than $95 for the year. Used c:geo a few times to get coords that I entered in the GPS. Haven’t tried using the phone to locate a cache yet.
