Re: Frugal Cell Phone

I saw a site once that compared the costs, and Verizon's FreeUp phones came
out best, but I don't have the link.  Sam's Club is selling a new one, put
out by Alltel, that I am thinking about, as they seem to be offering a
better deal than Verizon.  If you talk to the people at the cellphone store
(or mall kiosk), sometimes they have a used, but functionally fine, phone
under the counter that they will sell to you cheap.  It cost me $30 to set
up a FreeUp phone this way, for the phone and an introductory batch of
minutes, and I've been quite happy with it, and have used it all over the
midwest and west.
