Cheap, some of their phones are VERY simple, and you buy one card and you're good for a year.

In my family we have several. Way cheaper than a cell plan and we don't yak all day on the cellphone, anyway--we have a landline.

I have travelled all over USA and never had difficulty getting a line out, even when others on more standard plans didn't have any bars--I think tracfone buys access from a lot of different providers.

This one has good sound quality...
