I'm thinking of getting a smart phone now that they are fairly cheap - maybe. But I don't want to have to worry about overages every time I use it."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

I called ATT before I left for Israel, and they talked me into adding a foreign roaming data plan for $35 per line (wife and I) per month. When I got home, ATT called me to tell me I hadn't used any of the data on that roaming plan, so they were reimbursing me BOTH $35 charges!Last edited by Cow Poke; 08-31-2014, 03:22 PM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I use a cheap (free) Medicare phone, 250 minutes free, $5.00 for 250 minutes more after that.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:
