TracFone LG L442BG 3G Prepaid Phone

The price was sensational - a little over $13 delivered. Delivery was fast. I like a small flip phone for ease of use AND because you don't have to pull out an expensive smart phone. This phone doubles the minutes so I use a 3 month plan and got 60 x 2 minutes = 120 minutes (2 hours) with a separate, new phone number. I can add minutes or more time as I want. I use this for short calls. I doubt I will use the present minutes. I have it with me all the time but only give out the number to close family. I have smart phones, but sometimes they are a pain to carry and pull out if you have gone to the grocery and forgot your list or you want to make a short call to tell someone you will be on time or late. You can carry this one easily when out walking, doing yard work, painting the porch, etc. If you lose it, all that is on it is Tracfone minutes. I can one-hand this phone and the numbers are clear. It has a real keypad. Smartphones are great for their real use but if I lose or break or get this one wet, I just buy another (already have) and go on the Tracfone website and put this one on the old number, capture the old minutes left, and maybe put more on. It runs about $6.5 per month for one of these figuring the overall costs of minutes and amortizing the phone over 2 years. If you are a heavy phone user you should research other deals. I carry both a smart and simple phone. I prefer this little one for any fast call. I do not watch vids on the smartphone except on wifi and do not do gaming. I also use Hangouts on the smartphone.
