The monthly cost was keeping me from signing up but we have Consumer Cellular which is a wonderful no-contract provider.<br />Calls between family members on the same plan are free - well check it out for your self.<br />What convinced me was seeing my friend Andrew use a weather app to get himself and Jackie off the river (in a deep valley) just in time to avoid a local thunderstorm !suephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413896904031019699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-90429065901629481572013-12-15T13:56:14.053-05:002013-12-15T13:56:14.053-05:00I also balk at the price.

Cellphones on their own do not pick any signal here. We don't have a land line so we do have a cell phone but it only works at home with a "bag phone" - a big bulky thing that has an antenna.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-49347892015512408182013-12-15T12:53:11.820-05:002013-12-15T12:53:11.820-05:00I had to laugh at your wife's reference to the...I had to laugh at your wife's reference to the "Find My Body" app. Still, I think it's a good idea to have a phone with you when you are off on your own. You never know what will happen. Still, I understand your discomfort about the big corporations.barbara l. halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251598050638810751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-39485927207466713602013-12-15T10:12:01.444-05:002013-12-15T10:12:01.444-05:00My smartphones name is Mr. Pid.

There are a LOT of apps that want to know where you are. I want to know why... I know where I am.

HOWEVER, our contract runs out in April or May with Verizon --so we will take the plunge just like you have... I'm sure we will LOVE it --once 'I" learn it!!!!! ha<br /><br />Merry Christmas.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
