I keep a spare TracFone in my truck in case I forget my regular phone when I leave home. Done that a few times. I have an Android phone that gives triple minutes. I buy the 60-minute, $20 TracFone card that’s good for 90 days; so i get 180 minutes, 180 texts, and 180 MB data, and it costs me $7/month for a fully functional cell phone. The minutes, texts, and data roll over. My TracFone is on Verizon and our regular cell phones are on AT&T. When I originally bought the phone, it was only $10. I’m happy.
