On the subject of phone cost: For many years, I have found cell phone deals (for an "emergency" glove box phone) leaving me with lots of left over phones. This is by design. Thru Amazon, I found a site called ShopCellDealsDotCom for Tracfone service with the LG800. The total cost for service is (I'm still using them) US$ 2.53/month, for an LG800 with one year of service included and triple time for life, and a 3 month/200 minute card. So, that's 15 months of service with 600 minutes, and a free (post paid) phone. I bought 4 of them, or 5 full years of cell service with 2400 minutes (40 hours voice/ 20 hours data) time (both are transferred when phone changes, so no losses). At the deal end, I have 4 phones with switcher off-line power supplies. One is kept complete for battery charging. The remaining 3 are chopped down until only a skinny plastic battery holder remains, which then go into small portable electronic projects I build. With the super cheap cell service, and 4 Lipo batteries I can use, I consider the LG800 phones to be totally free. This is the third time I have gone thru a gob of cheap phones (Nokia, then Motorola) and been left with Lipo batteries (and a charger) that would not be cheap to purchase, a nice freebie for projects!
How can Lipo batteries with charger be cheaper than that?
