You can add TracFone to your list.
For over a decade, my wife and I probably caused severe head injuries with the NSA staff from going to sleep listening to our messages like, we got there ok. Do you need anything from the store? I will be late due to a wreck.
We had a TracFone for over ten years and never came close to using our paid minutes. With messages like the above.
This year, we have two Tracfones as per requests from family members to start texting. Our texts are even more boring and possibly more dangerous to any NSA listener.
it leaves me more $ for fishing and hunting equip
