I am thinking that getting boarding passes for a cruise or a flight or even an Amtrak trip: a smart phone may be required and may be the only way of getting those passes, eventually.

Rare Roz Posted March 20, 2021 #27 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My smartphone thru Tracfone cost me $59.99, and I pay as I go for data, talk, and text. Costs about $7 - $10 per month. A smart phone is so much easier than a flip phone. Only drawback to Tracfone is there's no service outside of the US. I may switch carriers for that reason.

I know we can't recommend travel agencies here, but we can recommend cell phone MVNO [Mobile Virtual Network Operator] brands. These are the brands that sell cellular service and hardware for less than the actual carrier's "rack rate" Mrs Bear and I currently use Consumer Cellular [on the Sprint/T-Mobile network] with an AARP discount. Our bill for 2 lines, sharing 3 gig of data is $49 / month. We can enable/disable international roaming to suit planned port visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a Consumer Cellular customer on the AT&T network with the AARP discount. For one line, I am paying $17.99/month. No international service; but that is rarely used, although I would like to have that because I have some friends in Canada and Australia with whom I would like to speak more often than we do. As I said in a previous post: I need to do some researching. Thanks for your post. I appreciate the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
