I too have a pre-paid plan that I love. It used to be tracphone but now its with T-mobile.

For the same $100, I too get the full year plus 1000 minutes of use. It's enough for me to last the whole year. And no I don't have regular old fashioned phone. For that I use Ooma, thing called voice over IP, one time payment of buying the machine and no monthly charge Long distance call in the middle of the day FREE!!! Got to love that. Been using to talk to my sister and my mother...

Something similar to Ooma is magic jack but there is a monthly service fee of $20. The added feature is that where ever there is a computer with internet connection, mic and USB, you can make a call. Ooma can only make calls from your house.

Really love Ooma and my pay as you go cell phone. My Ooma has paid for itself over a year ago. no phone bill, no expired minutes... This is a good thing.

I do not have implanted bluetooth headset. Besides, I think they are bad for your brain.
