Six years ago when my daughter's first was born we had a pre-paid for me to carry in case I was out and about and they wanted to let me know what was going on. I got the phone then it took several minor disasters and 3 or 4 months to get it on line. First right after I bought it I had to call the company to find out why I couldn't get it to work. They told me well, you bought the wrong phone, the phone couldn't operate on the mode required here. I asked why wouldn't it work I bought it only 10 miles from the house. I got no definitive answer. So I had to wait for them to send me another. When I finally got it running and could use it, I quickly found out that if the tower is busy I couldn't get through and no one could call me. But by that time my grandson was already born. I ended getting a second line with our other carrier and haven't had a problem since.
Most cell phone companies have a 30 dollar a month plan, with more minutes that you would use, which is cheaper than a land line.
