I don't know where you are, but I use a wal mart "Straight Talk" phone. No 
contract, inexpensive phone, $30/mo for 1000 minutes (upgradeable to 
unlimited for $45), and uses Verizon's network. "By the minute" phones are 
ridiculously expensive, in comparison. (I use the $30 one, my wife has the 
$45 plan).

It is however, that amount every month.

Incidentally, they say the minutes not used are gone when you refill the 
phone (on the $30 plan), but my unused minutes have rolled over. Don't know 
if that is an error, but not questioning it at this point...   ;-) Course, I 
haven't had a need for the rolled over minutes, but it's nice to know they 
are there.

Subject: [Homestead] Pay as you go phone


My mother was put in a rest home this week for PT as she cannot be at 
ome until she improves.  She has a very painful compression fracture of 
he lower spine.  The rest home wants the patient to get thier own phone 
or $40 installation and other charges.  I think a pay as you go cell 
hone would be better as she can have it at home after.  She would want 
t mostly for receiving calls.
So I am looking for recommendations for a pay as you go cell phone.
