VERY EXPENSIVE! You can get a prepaid plan w/talk & text via cell ph for the same price! $9.99 per MO! Why bother! Sure, u can use it for "free" but the ph # you get exp every 15 days! If u want to keep the # longer u have to pay for it. This is great for drug dealers! Or for ppl who just want a # for a short time. There are apps that charge a one time fee of only $1.99 FOR A FULL YR! I need another # so when I lose my ph I can call it from an app on tablet to locate it in my home & spam #
