Title: Excellent Phone Service At A Terrific Price!
Review: Best prepaid deal anywhere! Unlimited talk & text for a year for a reasonable price meets my needs perfectly.I purchased the 1-year unlimted prepaid plan on Amazon for $75. That equates to about 2 months of service from my previous supposed discount carrier. You receive a sim card and guided instructions on installing it in your phone and registering everything online.In my case, I needed personal assistance, so I called Jethro Mobile. I found the customer service to be friendly, well-trained, helpful and based in the USA. I was able to quickly and easily port over my existing mobile number to my new phone and service plan. I was completely setup in just a few minutes.Before going with Jethro Mobile, I visited their website. Before purchasing and while online, I was able to confirm my cell phone's compatibility and also get a service coverage map of my zip code area (good 5G & excellent 4G coverage). This step is highly recommended before buying. Essentially, Jethro Mobile has contracted with the T-Mobile network and all of their cellular infrastructure, so national coverage (and even some international coverage) is terrific.Also, for those of us with simple mobile phone needs, I can definitely recommend the highly rated Nokia 2780 flip-phone for $90. Although this prepaid plan works with most phones, this simple flip-phone & prepaid plan combination is perfect for many folks.This is the ideal setup for a growing number of people who principally use a phone to talk -- particularly many older and very young users. Personally, I use a mobile phone to occasionally chat with people and as an emergency phone on my motorcycle, bicycle and boat.Texting is certainly possible on this phone, but compared to a touch screen, it is a bit cumbersome and requires multiple key strokes (see keyboard layout). However, it is worth seriously considering the many joys and benefits of leading a text-free life! Join the growing number of folks who are unplugging from the grid.Jethro Mobile offers a terrific prepaid service plan at a surprisingly low rate. For users who don't require tons of data time and don't live their lives texting on their fiddle-phones, this unlimited prepaid plan and flip-phone is virtually impossible to beat. Check it out for yourself.
