Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 About cell phones, I just purchased a pay as you go cell phone. I only want to have it for emergencies or very short conversations like, " Hi, I'm going to be later than expected. " . At Best Buy, and Target, and I'm sure other places, you can purchase a pay as you go phone plan from Virgin Mobile ( NO I did NOT make that name up! LOL). You buy phone cards at least every 90 days to the minimum amount of $20 to keep the phone number. The phone I got with my package is an audivox and I was shocked that the sound quality is excellent. Virgin Mobile | About I hope this link works. If not, just copy and paste and it will bring you to it eventually! LOL It is expensive to use - 25 cents for each of the first 10 minutes - EACH day - then 10 cent a minute. However - I had a plan for a year and it was @ $40 a month. This gives me a " plan " for $20 every 3 months, and I keep the phone # - so that is $80 a year, but no committment. So far in the few months I have had it I have used it for a total of @ 5 minutes! LOL None were emergencies, just calling home to say I was running late. Hope this helps. ) Jackie (Special hello to Gimlet, the wonder shedog!! smiles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Jackie done good today! Thanks for that info on the cell phone. I take it you were not able to try the phone first? $20 every three months? Wow! Do the minutes accrue or do they roll off after each 90 day period? And how much was the phone? (Gimlet feels much better knowing that Jackie has her pegged correctly!) *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. & Gimlet (Guide Dawggie) Portland, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rlclark77@... http://home.comcast.net/~rlclark77/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
