My Pure Talk cell phone needs one button press to turn on and a menu
pops up, one more press brings up my phone book. Pure talk is only
$5/month with 80 minutes... I have it more than a year and am yet to
use it except once to call my land line to check that it works and it
does. It's perfect for me as an emergency phone, I wouldn't use it
for any other reason... my entire life I used a phone maybe three
times when away from home and was a pay phone... only got the cell
because I don't see pay phones anymore. I take it with me when I
leave home but it's never turned on, no one has the number to phone me
anyway. I remember to charge it about once a month. At the time I
signed up (Walmart) the Samsung phone was free). Each month they bill
my Visa credit card $5 and send me an email for confirmation, easy
peasy.
