Does anyone here know anything about Tracfone? [View all]

I'm getting older and my car is getting older and I'd like to have some way to call for assistance if I should ever get stranded on the road.

I took over my late mother's Jitterbug phone for awhile after she passed, but it just didn't seem worth the monthly payment, since over the period of a year I had only used it 4 times.

I don't want to take photos, surf the web, text, yack with folks, or anything else. I just want a mobile phone available to use in case of emergency.

Several people have told me that Tracfone might be ideal for me. So I looked up some consumer reviews on google, and there were quite a lot of negative reviews - mostly regarding their customer service.

But if I understand it correctly, all you have to do is buy a phone and then load minutes as you need them - and it's cheap.

Does anyone have any advice?
