help-need cell phone where mins don't exp

[perplexed]

I am seeking a cell phone where you buy mins that NEVER exp and the cheapest plan possible is there such a plan, I would like the customer service to be local.

Thanks!

Tracfone minutes do not expire BUT only if you add minutes every 90 days. If you are wanting a cell just for emergencies or occasional usage that might work.
The best cell phone deal out right now (I Believe) is Straightalk. Buy online at Straightalk.com or at Walmart. It is $45. per month for unlimited everything. Minutes, texting, pic mess, web. Plus here we get really good reception. Dont know bout in Mississippi.
Don't know if any of this helps but good luck.

Not sure if that exists.

You could do t mobile...you'd have to get $100 at first..then they don't expire for a year...but that's a lot of minutes to go through. After you purchase the $100 you can purchase in smaller increments and they all last a year.

I think you would be better off though with a trace phone and just letting them expire.

Straight talk works good..just as with every phone you do have some weak spots..I dropped ^%(^%#@ cause every month was a different price compared to the one you singed up 69.99. so i pay 45 a month and no more surprises

t-mobile is the best one i've seen and very easy to work with

Your best bet will be page plus. Obviously, you aren't going to get almost any customer service, but you only have to put a minimum of $10 on the phone every 3 months. This is what I use, and it works great.

Nice thing with t mobile is your phone works just about everywhere without actually "roaming".

I have a virgin phone now..but I still keep my t mobile phone because it works in places the virgin doesn't (I live in a very rural area). My t mobile is a no frills, non exciting phone and I've had it for over 5 years now!

I wanted to switch to tmobile when they started that kids texting bundle but couldn't cuz does not pick up at my house AT ALL!! :( Most of my family that live North and East of me have Tmobile and love it until they come visit me and have no signal. Seems I am the only 1 that has this issue. :(
