I have a track phone from Wal Mart $10.00. I guess you can text with it, it is flip, but only use it for phoning home or DH to phone me and ask where I am and when I am coming home. It is $19.99 fir 240 (double 120) minutes and 90 days. I never use all the days before I run out of time. No desire to pay big money for phone and internet, money is too tight in old age.
