My neighbor got an Obamaphone, but doesn't need it, so she gave it to me. I have to used once a month, to keep it valid. I'll have to try to remember. As a reminder, I'll use ti the day I pay the rent, and the day I make my credit card online payment transfer. I'm not sure if that means once per calendar month, once per billing-date month, or never more than 30 consecutive days of dormancy.
$140 a month is $1,680 a year. That's how much my 6-week nine-country vacation to central Eurasia cost me last summer. I can't imagine using that kind of money to make phone calls.
There is no such thing as an Obama-ANYting. But Obamaphone is what it was called when it was handed to me, and everyone reading my post knew what I was talking about. Even you.

Why not just turn the phone in? She doesn't need it and you're annoyed at having to keep it valid. Perhaps there is someone out there that does need the phone that could benefit?

I recognize it to be a thing of value, but not one I would necessarily have a use for every month. I once had a tracfone, which was costing me $80 a year to keep current, and that was coming out to about $20 per call. This phone gives me access when I need it, at a price closer to realistic.
I would take the flip phone! Smartphones break too easily! I don't think I know anyone who hasn't broken at least the screen a couple times.
Stop choosing Iphones, their screens break very easily. I've had several Androids, and I've only had one phone that had a single crack all the way across. Iphone screens shatter.
Check this out, I think you'll like this. Mixed reviews but I decided to maybe ditch my cell phone and pay $20 a month for a phone. Ditching smart phone, going with flip phone. 1,500 texts a month and 150mb.
Free cell phone service from Scratch Wireless.
I think Scratch Wireless is a better deal than Consumer Cellular. Once you buy the phone for $100 you have unlimited texting via cellular. You also have unlimited voice and data via wifi.
So even if you get an unlimited voice pass for 30 days, and buy 3 daily data passes for a total of 150 Mbps that is $21 a month. So you are within $1. Plus on months when you are broke you can switch to texting only and data on wifi and pay nothing.
And "more importantly" although you don't get a choice on phone model, the phone is not a "flip phone" (or a "foot phone").
