[Hidden-tech] Looking for advice about carriers for mobile phone

[Rich@tnr]

I've had good luck with Google Fi -- it is unlimited talk and text for a 
flat rate
that does not include cell data - which you really don't need - since 
most data usage is where there is wifi.
I've looked into 55+ plans and they really don't work unless your income 
is very low.

You make a comment about wifi and I figure you mean the phone as a hot 
spot rather than the phone on wifi.

(BTW if you direct email me I'll send a referral code)
