Among other things, on semi-remote hunting trips I was sometimes able to call when other folks could not with far more expensive smartphones, because TracFone connects with several cell networks, not just one. Plus, the battery didn't need to be charged every damn day, in fact it often only needed once a week if I wasn't doing a lot of calling. However, the $19.99 replacement TracFone is an Alcatel, and so far it looks like the battery won't need constant recharging either. [/quote]
That was my battery experience as well...usually only needed to recharge once a week when most of the guys with the newest and best-est had to charge theirs daily.
I prefer the "KISS" (keep it simple stupid) method to most things and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the techno world we now live in...even though I realize it is inevitable.
Oh well, off to Wally's!
