Wondering how well it will handle the vibration coming from my handlebars.

$25.00 for 90 days.
My sim card reload was 10 bucks for 90 days at 200 minutes.
So I guess 25 bucks for unlimited is not too bad.

Phone = Pickup Truck

Current story:
Yeah, I finally had to get a new phone. My flip phone flipped open and the top kept going all the way to the floor. D'OH!!!

So I go to the Verizon store, say "I've been a cell customer since you guys were like Bell Atlantic. The wife and kids want upgrades. So tell me a story." Yep, $10/mo cheaper for the 4 "smaht" phones. One kid got iPhone 6. The rest of us got the same model of Android.

We've had tablets already and used those alot, especially for email and pictures. So now that's all in the phones. They work fine and we were already familiar with the interface and technology.

Amazingly, I pull it out and friends go, "What one is that? The <blah-blah>? Or a <foo-foo>?" I'm like, "It's RED! My wife's is PINK! My son's is TRANSPARENT! And my daughter's is CHEETAH!" They ignore me and hold out their hand to look, and diddle a bit as long as I don't go "Hey! Don't reprogram my phone!"

Old Story:
I once bought a Toyota small 4WD pickup. The WHOLE time I owned that, guys would come up to me after I got out of it at some random parking lot, "Hey! How do you like that truck?!? I got 4 of them!", or "I was thinking of buying that model!" It always amazed me.

To the original question, I guess it depends if you're some techno-nut. A buddy of mine knows all the Android release names and what the details are of all the iPhone release versions. Hey, OK, I just posted a pretty good video of the puppy playing fetch. For an electronics geek, I honestly disappoint everyone in my family with my lack of care about current technology.

I only get 250 minutes for the $25.00, so you have a very good deal. I don't make very many phone calls so I didn't think it worth mentioning. The cell phone is mainly for emergencies. Pay phones have gotten hard to find.
