I...I'm with you on the Dinosaur Train, Meg. I've still got a flip phone through Tracfone. It's probably 5+ years old. I feel a bit embarrassed pulling it out in public because it is sooooo ancient, but I temper that embarrassment with the idea that I am spending a measly $80 a YEAR on cell phone service! Ok, admittedly I am not a huge cell phone user--I use it for emergencies, once in a while when out at a store and I've forgotten exactly what I needed (lol), and a few text messages here or there. When I need to make a call I use my home VOIP phone service (which by the way costs me a GRAND TOTAL of $3.73 a month for unlimited use/long distance). If I want to use a computer, I have a computer at home and at work that I can use at any time (for FREE). If I want a smart phone-like experience, I use my iPod on the wifi at home or out and about. I know I am not using the hottest new electronics, but I can deal with it knowing how much money I am saving every month!<br /><br />By the way, if you do decide to get a smart phone, Tracfone does have a smart phone that gets triple minutes for life. Not a bad deal at all, especially if you buy the phone on Ebay not from Tracfone's website. I don't know anyone personally who has one, so I can't comment on the usefulness of it.
