I don't have a cell phone because I've never found a plan that really fits my needs - for an affordable rate. I am NOT going to pay $100+/month just for phone service! Not even $60/month.
Here's what I must have:
-- NOT Verizon
-- NO contracts (well, possibly a contract)
-- coverage pretty much across the country
-- lots of weekday (business) hours, preferably unlimited
-- minutes don't expire
-- Internet access is a plus, but not a requirement
Beyond that, I don't need texting, cameras or other fancy things, though I'm fine with paying for a good phone.
Does anyone know of a plan that has these features and doesn't cost the Earth? (I know there are pay-as-you-go plans, but doesn't the time expire? And aren't they prohibitively expensive?)
