Am feeling that I should go back to first grade.
So here's the situation. Though I still have a cheapy smart phone, I don't use it. Paid $59 for the phone including one years free service.
The only thing we use it for, is an emergency on the road. total minutes used for this in the past year, about 6.
Need a cheap phone or two to keep in the cars. I see them advertised for as little as $9.99... Prepaid phone. Cannot find a sensible website that explains prepaid.
Is there a phone god somewhere that pays for the service? So, now, make believe you are explaining prepaid to someone who lived in the last century.
Prepaid means to me, that I pay up front, before I use the service, but no... nowhere is this mentioned in the prepaid explanation.
So I buy the phone. What next? Do I activate and give the company access to my bank checking account? How do I activate? I guess that buying Tracfone cards does something, but what? Do I have to call them (a nightmare) every time my minutes run down? What if I don't pay on time, does the phone then become junque?
Since it's just jeanie and me, I don't care about transferring phone numbers, but just in case, is this hard to do?
We don't text, or do anything fancy.
Embarrassing to ask silly questions that any fifth grader already knows, but have learned that vanity goes by the wayside after age 80.
