Anyone Use Pre-paid Cell Phones?

[jbh3]

Looking for a cost effective replacement for an old analog Verizon phone that my Mom carries for emergencies. The plan that this phone is on so old/cheap that Verizon won't allow me to upgrade the phone to a digital for the existing rate. Phone will only be used locally - Knoxville area. Just need a basic phone and a dial tone. Anyone have any experience with Tracfone or any other prepaid provider? Thanks and MERRY Christmas!!

When I worked at radio shack we sold alot of them but that was quite a while ago so the rates have gotten much better. You may want to consider adding a line to your plan. We have 3 phones on our plan and it is an extra 5 bucks a month for each extra line after the primary plan.
