Both of us are retired, at home most of the time so land line is our main communications. Cell phone is only when we are out.

Tracfone, pay as you go have been our choice for many years - Thank you, DU, for pointing me the way. Flip phones. I have problem with touch screens. Also, like to use both arms. Sometimes at appear that the whole world is operating with one arm with the other holding a "smart phone.."

About $200 a year for both. I shudder when I hear an ad for "only" $100 a month. But then we do not need all the "apps" to show kids and grand kids and travels..
