The best phone plan with no contract and good service is Jitterbug through AARP. My Aunt has that and it is easy and no surprises in her bill ever. DH and I use IPhones now. I resisted for a long time thinking I didn't need anything but one that calls. How wrong I was. I use it for everything. Computer, email, pictures, books, music, exercise program, recipes, movies, news, tv, and oh yeah to make calls. One little hand held item and I have access to almost everything in the world in the palm of my hand. Kids these days will never know not having instant access to everything. Imagine that!
