Some people do not need unlimited or expensive cell phone plans.
Some people, especially the elderly, only need cell phones for
emergencies or do not make enough phone calls to require a regular
plan. Cheap cell phone plans only have a limited number of minutes,
but may be good for you if you do not exceed that number of minutes
each month. Even if you do exceed it, sometimes the extra minutes
charges are still cheaper than using a regular plan. In conjunction
with a simple cell phone, a cheap cell phone plan may be good for
you for emergency purposes or limited phone calls.
