Backup/Disposable Cell Phone
I know nothing about prepaid/disposable cell phones so would like some advice.We'd like to buy a cheap phone to use as a backup when we go places like the beach - leaving our pricey iphone safely at home. All I need it to do is calls and text. Camera might be nice but really not necessary. I figure the family member using it at any given time can forward his/her number to the cell for the day. Our phone plan is Sprint, if that makes a difference. Advice on brands, where to buy, what to watch out for? Or is there a better solution I'm not considering? Thanks! |

Prepaid flip phone from Walmart?
If you refer to your husband/wife as 'DH/DW', you're too old to be active on a forum.
If you ask for marriage advice on a(ny) forum, you should seriously reevaluate your life. If you don't know the difference between 'their', 'there', and 'they're', I automatically assume you have a mental disability (same goes for to/two/too and your/you're/yore). |

Get something like the Tmobile Sparq for 20-30 on ebay. You can unlock it or get it unlocked already and use it on att as well.
Tmobile has good prepaid plans though. You don't wanna try to text on a flip phone

t-mobile has the cheapest pre-paid plans.. might want to check your coverage if the "beach" is in more of a remote location
you could also go old-school and use walkie talkies |
