And I wisely purchased one (for $39!) that provides me with triple minutes for life. If I use the phone strictly for screening calls (or quick outbound calls) and then call back on my $25/mo. landline, I find that I can use the TracFone for about $18/mo. That, to me, is about what these things are worth.
I silently chuckle when I see my friends ponying up $400+ for a fancy smartphone and then paying $100 - $200 per month to use it. That, IMHO, is *insane* - I've had car payments that are less!!

Another TracFone user here, mine is for emergencies, etc. Anybody wants to speak to me, call on my landline, leave a message if I don't pick up.
No Iphone, no "smart" phone, no MP3, no tablet, not even a laptop.
I don't feel that I need to be available to anybody at their beck and call. Being retired and independent is true freedom!!!!!!
Cheers,

And I'm referring to the expectation that because I have a cell phone, I am expected to drop whatever it is that I'm doing and *immediately* respond to your call or txt msg. My cell phone exists for *my* convenience, not yours.
Unless, of course, you're willing to pay all of my expenses incurred by owning it. Otherwise, I'll get back to you when it is convenient for me, bubbe...
