Post a CommentVery good information!
The timing is perfect for us Bill on this. We are preparing to get our first cell phone ever. Wonderful. PS, I read and loved your Ice and Rabbits Don't Mix article. Wow...glad you survived. Yes, it wasn't your time, and we are the beneficiaries. I love to read childhood stories and this one was excellent.
All I need is one that makes and receives calls..don't really care about the bells and whistles. Good list.
Very useful article. Thanks.
Thanks for doing my research for me.
Good resource for those in the market.
Excellent, thanks.... :o)
Gee, my idea of budget-friendly is my little prepaid model. I can't surf the Internet, take pictures, or play music. But, it's a telephone: it lets me make and receive telephone calls.
These sound like nice phones.
Good info!
