No sure what my son pays for mom but he said my Tracfone deal is much better. He also tells her to try to limit calls to the off hours or weekends, whatever. I figure I'm paying a flat $8.25/month, can call any time and have 1,200 minutes left and need to renew in Oct. They'll roll over the old minutes so at the rate I call, it's not important that I get a double deal. Not interested in text messaging or using phone as a camera.
