Knowing nothing about cell phones, I have asked different merchants about them and seem to come up with different answers each time. I am just looking for a cell phone I can use in emergencies and still use a pre-paid phone card (that won't expire-if they exist). I have been told that if you buy a Verizon cell phone you have to use their phone card, or Nextel etc. Is there any cell phone company that will give you minutes and then have them roll over so if you don't use them for 6 months you still have them?
I don't want to end up paying $30 a month for something I don't use.
