D.R.
I just got Consumer Cellular after my contract with Verizon was up. You pay monthly for a set amount of minutes--I got 200 for $20. which is plenty for me--no complicated bills or plans or need to remember anything--I get a notice to pay in my email. I have not traveled with it yet but the coverage map looked better than Verizon and there are no roaming charges anywhere in the US--I got annoyed when I had to pay that when I was traveling through Chicago(I could not beleive they did not have towers there!) My Mom has Trac Phone and has been happy with it. Both of these are easy to understand for us older folks!
