I used to use a pay before use cell phone and the reception was terrible. That was about 10 or so years ago. And the minutes were expensive if I remember right. And just getting the card for the minutes and activating it was risky. So I tend to agree.
Recommend a cheaper cell phone carrier?

Earlier today I signed up for Consumer Cellular. Got a smartphone for $99 on sale.
Once it arrives I call them and they help me to set it up. Then I will cancel AT&T!
Actually U.S. Mobile has some wonderful prices, $6 including taxes for their Lite Plan. But doing everything over the Internet with them was more stressful for me.
I got auto pay with Consumer Cellular and did everything over the phone.
Check out U.S. Mobile.... it's a good company with very low prices which includes all taxes and fees! I think they have a plan for unlimited everything including taxes and fees for $23.
This was my first cellphone so I would have gone with U.S. Mobile but I did Consumer Cellular because it was easier for this senior citizen. Maybe later I can get the cheaper prices with U.S. Mobile.

It is a bit too late, it seems, @Debp, but in the future if you're looking again, I have TracFone and it is only $15 a month for unlimited texts and calls. $10 if you have it set as a reoccurring payment.
I have had the same one for years, because I don't see the point in changing it and I'm happy with it.
I pay $15 a month plus taxes with Consumer Cellular...no texting. I'm happy with them.
Since it's my first cellphone, they will help me switch if I ever need a new phone.
I only use my phone for phone calls. The updates slowly use up storage space. I don't know if you need to get another phone once storage is full. I'm up to about 56% storage right now.

You might just need someone to help you set up an SD card to increase your storage space so you can keep your phone, but 56% and only for calls, you should be fine for a long while.
I clear the cache of each app regularly.
I noticed each app has a "compress file" option. Someone told me compress file makes the app use less space.
When I tap on compress file, it then asks for a zip file name. So can I make up any name and then the app will be compressed to use less space?

Yes, it's basically just making a zip file to store your files in one folder and remove unnecessary data, but I would be careful about doing it with apps you regularly use just because I think you could potentially have issues getting them to work again. You could test it with one you hate. Lol
You can clear data for apps like Facebook or a browser, but you would need to log in again.
It shouldn't really be necessary for you to do though. Your phone storage should be okay.

I've had Consumer Cellular for over a year now and am happy with them. Never a problem. And they didn't raise the price either.
I think they also use T Mobile towers besides AT&T towers.
