Thanks!

if you have a motorola boost used cell phone; use boost cards.

the contract phones - alot of them can be used as pays - most are unlocked, some arent but a call to the provider can possibly switch it. we had a verizon pay in 05 for one of the kids, and when he went off on his own i wasnt gonna keep him on the contract so verizon switched his phone to the paygo/cards. my friend works for ATT here. when they were cingular you could do this, im pretty sure the ATT phones do but you'd have to check. paygo phones ppl give away on freecycle alot.


ha..cool! I never even thought of using old phones as pay go phones. We had the latest/greatest cells for years before the novelty wore off and we noticed that we didn't use cells for that much. So I converted to paygo's and have saved a small fortune with virtually no difference in service.

But the phones are chintzy, and I really liked some of our older full featured phones. Thanks for this idea. We do some charity work with the local homeless, and one of the biggest problems they have getting a job is no phone. We happen to have an "in" for used phones and this could be an answer for some local needs. Thanks again.
