Exactly I might be one of the very few but what ever happened to having a frickin cell phone for phone calls and the occassional text message when needed (and not driving)? I understand all these added features are a standard of conveinence for some but for me they are nothing but an annoyance and unneccesary 99% of the time. You practically have to be a computer programmer to store a number! Like PennyPenny said I just need something that serves the simple purpose of making and receiving phone calls, storing numbers and text messages. Every new phone I upgrade to there is more and more crap to sift through in order to choose a ring tone and to store a few stinkin numbers! Anyways enough of that, thanks for listening to me bitch

Thanks for all your responses and if anyone has anymore info please do share! I want to know as much as I can before I make this switch because the initial set-up will be costly. For a decent Boost pre-paid phone it's roughly $100.00, and then the $50.00 per month set up, and to pay my last phone bill plus $175.00 to break my contract with Verizon Wireless. I still have another year with them and there are numerous reasons that are good enough for me to justify spending the $175.00 to break the contract off for sure. Ironically VW probably owns Boost Mobile, just like they own Net 10. I guess it's VW contract plan I'm unhappy with. I'm going to check out those links again thanks for the input please share if anyone has anymore.
