Dear Savvy Senior A few months ago you wrote a column on simple cell phones for seniors. Can you now write one on cheaper cell phones for seniors on a budget? My wife and I have had a cell phone for nearly two years that we rarely use but like having it for emergency purposes. When our current cell phone contract runs out, we want to find a cheaper option than the $40 per month were spending now. What can you tell us? Fixed Incomers
Dear Fixed: For seniors who dont use their cell phone very often, but still want one for emergencies or occasional calls, your cheapest option is probably a prepaid plan. Heres what you should know.
