Phone Squelch

Yesterday I bought 2 of the LG600 Tracfone. Today I returned them both. After they said NO to the return... they did take them back! Thankfully!

After calling to cancel Sprint, we've worked out a psudo plan. Alas, my phone & Hubbies have been totally squelched. All we can do now is call... and text. I'd wanted and iPhone! Ha! "I'm cutting bills!!!"

I cannot count the times I've tried to use the phone to catch up on email... or read the news. Now with a blocker on the phone there's no service... and no extra charges. "I'm cutting bills!"

So, bottom line I've cut my Sprint bill from $110 to something like $30.
We have 350 minutes... no roam... Sprint calls free, and any 5 #s free... and 100 text. That may be a test... without the accessories I'm finding using the texting more... "Yet cutting bills!"

As long as my phone works... today I'm with Sprint. I'll not commit to any years so there's no breaks in phone prices. In the store they actually told me to hit ebay!!! Hummm.... Anybody have an good used phone???

Cutting bills!!!
Grace! ss

I got my last Cingular phone from their website--bought a refurbished phone for $25 with no contract. Might try looking on the Sprint website for refurbs.

I know cutting back is hard! I felt like you do when we got rid of our credit card a few years ago! I didn't know how I was going to cope only being able to buy what we can actually afford!! Scary stuff!! I went through it again when we canceled our satellite. No more TV, whatever would I do with my time? I don't miss it at all!!

God will bless your endeavour and you won't even miss the other stuff in a while!!

Good for you guys! Eventually, you'll look back (once you get out of the habit of checking e-mail and such on your phone) and you'll wonder how you ever used it so much. Yay! Good advice.
