We’re not great cellphone users. We use ours for echo-location in huge stores, at the state fair, or when otherwise lost from each other. We occasionally use it for a call when traveling.<\/p>\n
For this, we’ve been billed 80.00 a month for the pair of us. <\/p>\n
Lynn Abbey put us onto an unadvertised feature of AT&T, namely the Go-phone. When you go to the AT&T site, you won’t see them mentioned. You’ll have to search. If you accept ‘chat’ the agent can find it, and can find the plans associated with them, including simply buying phone cards at your grocery. Here’s ours: 1. two phones @ 9.95 each, plus shipping. That’s 21.95 for the pair of us. 2. access at 10 cents a minute, paid by a credit card on file. If we call each other, yep, it’s 20c, but hey, “Where are you?” and “Right by the broccoli”, or “Would you pick up some milk while you’re out?” doesn’t take more than 20c and saves a lot of hiking and frustration. 3. access to AT&T coverage, which is broad, and good.<\/p>\n
No more 80.00 a month phone bill. More like 10.00 a month, given our normal usage. If you have your phone only for emergencies, consider how much you could save. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
