Extra lines are only $10-15 extra, hence my mom-in-law on our plan. She gives us $15 a month, like I care about it. The main plan is the big expense, then the texting and data, etc... All adds up. My mother just got a pre-paid phone from Radio Shack, I think. Sister got it for her. About $20, and she can add minutes any time, doesn't get charged monthly, doesn't lose any unused minutes. That would be the way to go if you don't think you'd use it much. But it is a handy thing to have! I started with an old bag-phone, around 20 years ago, and have had one ever since!
Welcome to the century Mick; and Bill -- maybe your kid can add you to theirs?
Oh, we also have Scala Rider helmet bike-to-bike communications. Hubby's is linked to his phone, so he can answer calls if necessary (he is basically "on call" 24/7 for emergencies) so if we are out riding, he won't miss a work call.
