Comments For "Cell Phones for Seniors: What's New Including No-Contract Cell Phones"
way too expensive for seniors
Way too expensive for seniors says Nancy? Okay, Nancy. How about this? I have a not too expensive Net10 prepaid phone for which I paid $30. I can check the news and weather. I can download ringtones and graphics. I can text. I pay a ten cents a minute flat fee to anywhere in the country and I've never had an interruption in reception. I haven't done so yet, but I can call over 60 countries for only 15 cents a minute - from my Net10 phone of course. Sounds way to cheap to be true? Trust me it's true. I have one.I'm a happy cell phone camper.
