I am at the "low end" of cellular service. I don't want to pay anything more than I have to.
I had two phones with virginmobile for a couple of years and my average bill for both phones was around $27 per month.
I recently switched to tracfone because it is even cheaper. Now my cell bill is $17.39 including tax for two phones. One gets 100 minutes a month and the other gets 80 minutes a month. If I don't use them they add up from month to month. I can buy extra minutes if I need them for 10 cents per minute, but I'm hoping to pool up a large number from not using them and always pay the $17.39 a month.
Service works fine and haven't had any voice quality issues.
When we were on AT&T, we were always having a situation where the phone didn't ring. Then it might be a day or two before we got the voice message. Moved to Verizon and haven't had any problems yet. We are also using the Verizon MiFi for our internet connections.
