Default Boost mobile cell phones. Anyone have this?

We are getting a new cell phone tower in our town and finally we will have a signal. I currently have a T-mobile plan that I pay $10 a year for. yes, a year! The first year, you pay $100 and as long as you put at least $10 on it before that year expires, your minutes roll, and the phone stays active. ATT just bought Tmobile and has announced that it will end those $10 a year plans. This leaves me needing to choose a new phone soon.

Boost has $25 a month plans. 300 talk minutes, and unlimited text, web, email, and apps time. NO Contract. so no monthly fee or worry if I want to stop the service.

Verizon, ATT, US Cellular, Sprint...All have plans about $59 to $89 a month! must have a 2 year contract, and its iron clad.

There are other plans, but I was looking at Boost since it would allow me unlimited web, email, and skype time. Does anyone have this plan? use their services? are they good phones or cheap? Are you happy? would you reccomend it?

I have a Safelink Tracphone.

Because I am on SSDI it's free to me. I get 68 minutes a month and they roll over each month what I don't use. Currently I have 784 minutes on my phone! If you prefer a plan that doesn't roll over then you get 250 minutes per month.

It doesn't have Internet access or anything else. Just a basic phone. But if my home phone goes out (because it's cable based) or I leave the house I have a working phone with me. You can send and receive texts on it but I don't.

Works for me! You can check the website to see if it's available in your area.

Safelink is not in my area. I did try for that.
