Hello Rusty, I have a tracphone and have had it for a couple of years with no problem. I only use it for work when I am on the road and like john said it can get expensive if you use it a lot. I think it is ten cents a minute. I pay 128.00 dollars for 800 minutes but that last me about a year and a half only using it for work. if you are going to use it all the time I suggest Sun Com. I was paying 39.95 for eight hundred min, plus ten anytime numbers that I could call without it being deduceted from my minutes. that was a good deal, wish I had kept it and I had no problems with them. hope this helps. Jimmy
