[Shop-talk] stupid cell phone question

[Doug Braun]

I have a spare Tracfone, that we bought for my mother-in-law when she was
visiting from overseas.
It cost only seven dollars, and I just added 365 days of service for $50.
That's $4.17 a month!
The actual airtime is about 13 cents a minute, but if you hardly ever use
the phone, it's
the best deal I have ever seen for that sort of usage model.

Their service quality seems fine, and the web-based customer service is OK,
too.
