Oh all-wise community, I come in search of your collective wisdom! Pray, assist a total and utter Luddite technology-challenged seeker with a very tight budget!
Here is the situation:
I just got an e-mail from DKos about an offer to switch my mobile service to CREDO. The cheapest plan under this offer seems to be about $40/month (about half what I pay for my landline) and would come with a free or very much reduced phone that would be considerably more intelligent than my LG burner (on a TracPhone plan for about $10/month, very rarely used).
Sounds like a sweet deal, no? The problem is that a) I am really chary about dumping my landline, b) I rarely make telephone calls, and c) I have zero interest in having a smart phone since I don't play games or suchlike.
So...does anyone out there have a CREDO account? Is dumping the landline completely worth it? Is a smart phone? Am I hopelessly behind the times?
Advice freely accepted since this sounds like a great deal....
