Still in love with my Tracfone
I paid $19.95 at Wal-Mart for my Tracfone (sometime in 2005). A year ago I bought a prepaid card (1 year/500 minutes) that expires in a few days. I still have 172 minutes which I lose if I don't purchase another card. Despite pressure from all quarters to get an iPhone, I picked up another prepaid card. 60 minutes/90 days. I just punched in the PIN number and I'm good till mid-December.
I gotta tell you... I love the Tracfone. It's like a Bic pin or a Swatch or drug store reading glasses. Does one thing well. Demands no maintenance. Disposable. And I don't have one of those little holsters on my belt. The Tracfone goes in the glove box or the laptop bag.
It has an ugly little LCD display and a charge can last me a couple of weeks (I only turn it on when I want to make or receive a call.)
What I really want is a Flip video camera that can stream live to Qik. Small, inexpensive, does one thing well.
I have thought about getting a Trac Phone and leaving AT&T myself.
I hate talking on the phone and try to avoid it at all costs so why should I pay for mins. that I don't even want to use anyway?
