Why don’t cell phones just take and send calls?  I can’t believe that in a short time cell phones have gone from huge phones you carry in a bag, to small enough to fit into ones pocket.  Another thing that blows me away is that they have as many features as a personal computer.  How can something so small be that packed with options?  Obviously technology has come a long way, but this is ridiculous.

Video game systems has a lot to do with this, in my opinion.  Teens and young adults have been playing handheld gaming systems for years, what’s a better way to appeal to that group of people than with cell phones that are tiny and packed with email, internet access, games and cameras?  The cell phone companies aren’t idoits, they knew that if they gave teens and young adults the opportunity to get a cell phone with options, internet, cameras and games, they would take it.

Sucking you into a 2-3 year plan is easy when the phones are only 1 cent with plan.  Then, once you are in the plan, the phone software “is old and should be upgraded to match our new system” there you are left to buy a new phone.  Now, you have to buy a new phone at full price or sign another extension to get the phone at 1 cent.  Which would you choose?  Well, I just need a portable phone for emergencies and traveling, that’s it.  Pretty simple to go with the Tracfone, without a doubt!
