Dead Cell Phone

[ndrosen]

My cell phone has apparently died, and this time, I’m not going to spend money trying to get it fixed; I don’t use it much, but I guess I’ll get a new one. Four years ago, when I announced that I was finally getting a 5G cell phone, someone advised me (in a comment on Dreamwidth) that Ting might be cheaper than Boost Mobile for monthly charges. I went back to that, and clicked on Ting, finding that their website had information on various services, but not on cellphone plans.

I may look for advice at Best Buy. Of course, any online friends who have advice to share are welcome to let me know what they recommend.

If you just want to use your phone as a phone whilst out and about, T-Mobile has a $25/month plan. No data. Call and text only. You can use a smart phone with the plan, and only have the smarter functions when you have a WiFi signal.

I did that with my brother's mobile account. Transferred his number to a spare iPhone 8, just voice and text. Just wanted to see if any friends called on it, after a couple of weeks nada.
