Tracphone You can choose a simple flip phone and 1 year of service for under $50 or a smart phone for $100 and up

My wife and I agree with TracPhone. We switched from one of the big nationwide carriers about three years ago. We have better coverage and service than the previous carrier and we pay less for it. There are a wide number of phones available and the customer service is very helpful. We highly recommend TracPhone.
Agree 100%. My Tracfone bill for me and my wife is $182 per year. Previously we were paying AT&T $792 per year. Here's the thing.....the carrier for my wife's phone is still AT&T. She even uses the same flip phone that she had. The carrier for my Samsung smartphone is Verizon. The coverage is excellent and Tracfone's customer service is, indeed, very good. Also I just replaced my old Samsung Galaxy with the new Samsung Galaxy AO1. I bought it from Tracfone for $60.
I don't know if they sell the cell phone I have in the states, it is an 'Artfone' and it probably would be perfect for you. Anyway you could order it on the net.
I must make an apology and a correction. In a previous post here, I stated that my wife and I use TracPhone and saved a bunch from our previous carrier. Apparently, as age does, my brain cramped or something because we do not have TracPhone, we are with Straight Talk Wireless. For both of us to have an iPhone and unlimited talk, text and data we are paying about one third of what we paid for our previous service. Additionally, to buy both iPhones from Straight Talk and for the first month service it cost less than half what the other carrier wanted for one iPhone. We've been with Straight Talk now for almost three years and consider it one of the best cell phone companies around. We can face time with our children and grandchildren very easiy. One of or sons is in the military, stationed overseas and we can facetime with him, too. Good company, good service, and the price is excellent for us.
