https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/Cell-phone-plans/m-p/155021#M2255 <P>Hoping someone can help.</P> <P>We're fed up with paying so much for cell phones. DH &amp; I are not-techies, just need a simple flip phone for (medical) emergencies. We use the home land-line for most calls and both have work phones for emergencies. Both our dr.'s suggest a cell phone for travel emergencies as we are getting older (58), I've had heart issues and he's had medical issues as well.</P> <P>We have US Cell plan (cheapo phones) but their cheapest plan (with taxes on the taxes, etc.) is close to $90. That seems like an awful lot to me. We use them about 200 minutes total, but with a little effort could use it much less. I think the smallest family plan is like 900 minutes!!!</P> <P>Does anyone have any suggestions? We only talk - no text, no internet, etc. nor will we need those in the immediate future, if at all....we just want an emergency sort of phone.</P> <P>I'm confused with all the plans, etc. Can someone tell me pros &amp; cons of some of the plans/phones out there?</P> <P>I really appreciate it. I'm home with a snow day so I'm making it my mission &amp; would appreciate all input! Thanks.</P> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:35:44 GMT erblst 2012-01-12T15:35:44Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/Cell-phone-plans/m-p/155021#M2255 <P>Hoping someone can help.</P> <P>We're fed up with paying so much for cell phones.
