I usually just buy a smaller bundle of minutes, but I have the "double minutes for the life of the phone card" which was well worth the money. They also run promotionals where you get a few extra bonus minitues so I also try to catch one of those deals as well. My Tracfone has worked well for me both with service and price.

I spend about $40 every three months to add more airtime. I have saved a ton since I switched. It would depend on how much you use your phone, but it has worked well for me. My husband and I text each other quite a bit instead of making calls since it cost less. You must have been upset when you saw the bill. There is nothing worse than getting a surprise on a bill!

I think it's so silly. It kills me that we were getting charged twice for sending and receiving! Craziness. That’s what I am saying! I think it’s so silly.

(Full disclosure: I work with them) They offer no contract cellular plans starting at just $10/month. Because there are no contracts, you can change your plan as often as you need with no penalty. Therefore, you won’t get any surprises on your next bill because if you are texting or calling more than usual, you can simply bump up your plan and you never have to pay those ridiculous overage charges. Conversely, if you are using less than usual, you can reduce your plan to avoid paying for minutes you don’t need. Plus, Consumer Cellular offers a money-back guarantee on the first 30 days or 30 minutes of use, whichever comes first. If you don’t like the service for any reason you can cancel and get your money back—no questions asked! See more at www.consumercellular.com. Good luck on the rest of your cellular search!
