I am now on Verizon - on my son's plan, but before that, I had a Tracfone for years.. You can buy a very inexpensive phone from them, and most of their phones now carry double minutes for life. They have Valueplans, where you sign up for x-amount of minutes for x-dollars per month. I had a double minutes phone and went with the basic value plan of 50 minutes for $10 per month - so I actually got 100 minutes. And then they used to screw up too, and most months they were adding double-double minutes to the phone. I tried to tell them what they were doing, but they never corrected the situation. You never lose the minutes - they roll over each month. When I cancelled with them last summer, I forfeited over 2300 minutes. Guess that shows you how much I use my cell phone.
