(We got it for a health aid who never used it. :-/ )

It's a good idea, in principle, but it was a hassle to keep track of when the activation expired, etc., etc. It expired a year or more ago - I'd hate to think what it would cost to reactivate it (if it's even possible).

The details of PAYG plans have to be considered very carefully. :-(

I don't think it's a good fit for her because she's very close to her sister and they talk very frequently. The bill was so high because she'd started talking to her when listening to RedSox games while walking the dog, and got distracted. She needs more minutes, and having free calling after 7 pm (or 9 pm) should take care of most of the problem. But that means changing plans, so that means it's worthwhile to consider other phones and other providers. :-)

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.
