Cell Phones and Plan

I....happened upon the right person. I told him we were leaving Sprint and he asked what deal I was getting.

With almost any business, that's the critical part. Employees of the very same company have given completely opposite information and then feign surprise that anyone there would ever give such false information.

If you don't receive the answer you want, call, call, call again, until you find someone who will.

No kidding. It drives me bonkers! I can call the same place 5 times with the same question and get 5 completely different answers.

My wife and I are tracfone customers. $7/month for each phone.

Another option.

I switched our home phone 2 years ago to Ooma phone (internet based). The "hub" cost $199 but the monthly fees are currently less than $1 and will go up to $3 per month next year. This isn't really a charge from Ooma but a government tax fee.

They do have something called "premier" service for either $9.99/mo or a flat fee of $69/year or something like that.

If you get Premier, one added bonus feature is 1000 minutes available through an app each month.

So, if you got something like Virgin Mobile, which offers a $45 plan for unlimited data and texting and 300 minutes. If you were to get Ooma and drop your $30/mo home phone and get the Virgin Mobil plan, you could use the Ooma app for an additional free 1000 min. on your data plan. when you call using your Ooma app, it will show on caller ID as your home Ooma phone number.

I have considered this option as well.

I pay just under $65 a month. That gives me 400 anytime minutes and unlimited texting. Most of my friends and family have the same provider as me (Verizon), so calling them doesn't use my minutes. I rarely use more than 200 minutes a month.
