I also have minimal use of my mobile phone - mainly when out of town. I use Verizon and 4 or so year old LG. I pay a buck for any day I use it plus a per minute charge 4, 5, 10 cents - do not really know. I buy $100 worth of time every year which keeps my unused time intact. I forgot to renew last month - they did send a bunch of text messages, but the phone usually resides in a drawer and I missed them. Anyway, I gave them my 100 and they restored my unused 18 hours now I have 28. I have not had a problem with coverage - use it a few weekends or weeks a year at Grandfather Mountain, NC. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Covill Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 4:14 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] Is anyone using any prepaid cell phones and how is the service?

The phone ain't free, because there's no inflated contract to pay for it. After that, however, it's great. Each December I buy a '200 minute, 12-month' package for $99.95, which usually carries at least a double-point bonus. Thus, after four years, I have about 1600 minutes in my account. You never lose either minutes or days when you renew/extend. In all fairness, I use my phone very little. It's main purpose is as an emergency phone that is always in my car. If I have a long doctor's visit I take it in with me so I can call my wife if our schedule needs to change. Otherwise, it sits in the door pocket. The point is, I'm paying $8.33/month, period, for all the service I need and then some. My first phone, a Motorola, cost $79.95. It got kind of scratchy last year so I got a new one - a Samsung, for $32.95, with camera and everything. Works great. In my experience, coverage is just as good as anyone else's. I'm a fan!
