I love my Tracfone! I get service everywhere. We have had to use my phone when my friends didn't have service. I have over 800 minutes built up on it. I buy the year card and always get extra minutes. Last year Staples had a coupon $20 off 100 so I got my card and extra minutes even cheaper. They have some cool new phones but I'll stick with my old one. Can't beat it for less than $10 a month-I don't need another big bill. Guess it all depends on what you want to spend.
