I do think I will try to find a prepaid where I can load minutes and not be monthly; not sure they do that anymore. And you are sooo right, I could be using that money for stamping stuff!!! Duh!<br />Kathy Skinner (Kat)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12062260189125326781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201245843104552505.post-41422160222331548992013-12-07T07:48:19.930-08:002013-12-07T07:48:19.930-08:00When I travel, I drive long distances alone so wou...When I travel, I drive long distances alone so would like a phone just for traveling. I think the prepaid would be the way to go for my needs if I can find the right one. Definitely don't want to be tied to my phone!Kathy Skinner (Kat)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12062260189125326781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201245843104552505.post-36809829433888284712013-12-07T07:44:41.085-08:002013-12-07T07:44:41.085-08:00Thank you!

I may go with Consumer Cellular (through Sears) for a monthly charge of $15 per month .Kathy Skinner (Kat)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12062260189125326781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201245843104552505.post-49751568045905146592013-12-07T03:39:25.520-08:002013-12-07T03:39:25.520-08:00Oh how the modern world spins!

But now that we're overseas, I'm totally ok when i forget it at home, I'm not busting a u-turn to get it! As for your dilemma, you're right, it can get pretty pricey! Does that $30 even include a data plan? Go with a pre-paid phone if you just need it for safety while driving, especially when you visit WA. And hey, $360 is $360 that could be used towards SU! goodies!!

I don't want people to be able to "hunt me down" all the time... sometimes I just want a few minutes to myself. Everyone I know is attached to their phones around the clock, it drives me insane!! ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201245843104552505.post-28909177276681586882013-12-06T03:32:59.279-08:002013-12-06T03:32:59.279-08:00You might look into a prepaid phone I think is wha...You might look into a prepaid phone I think is what they call them. I use to use one of them. You buy the phone which doesn't cost much at all then add minuets as you need them. It was a cheap way to have a phone just in case for travelDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319991952705204675noreply@blogger.com
