From a hospital. They updated a few years ago, so I took most of their old ones of their hands. Gave them like $20, -right place right time. I wasn't going to take them, but they left two of the lot with hard drives and operating systems, - so I grabbed them, glad I did lol.

NewsFlash: We've all said that about people older than us. You will too, and sooner than you might think. You're only young for a very short portion of your life. You'll see. Most of us thought we'd never get old either.

There's another prepay plan that Virgin Mobile has that may save you a bit - that's a $90 card once a year. You do not have to use an automatic topoff and you don't lose the account if you run it down to zero. If you do need to add in between times, you can do it online or with a card.

I'm not old, just older. I do not whine, I have a fairly deep voice. I embrace change. As an example, I am in the process of replacing all my 8 tracks with cassettes.

I don't even bother with a card. Too much effort. I have my plan (Virgin Mobile) set up to automatically top off with $20 every three months (minimum required to maintain the account) directly from my checking account unless my balance drops below $5; then they top off with $20 and restart the three month clock from that point. Fortunately, the balance rolls over every month so I never lose anything. I do get some high balances at times but then I'll go on a trip and burn a bunch of it off. It's worked well for me the past several years.
I'd go Verizon for better coverage but, last I heard, prepaid balances don't roll over. So, if I'm ever somewhere for a short while without VM coverage, I'll buy the cheapest phone and card I can get and give it to someone when I'm through with it. I still save money in the long run.

Dimes in your loafers . . . Whoa, that reminds me, when I was a kid my grandfather used to pull Franklin Half Dollars out of my ears. After all this time there could be a fortune in in my head!
