This extremely happy purchase has enabled me to free myself of an expensive cellphone contract, and landline phone. My savings, per month, will be HUGE! It is a quality piece, with excellent features, and will suit me, as a retiree and widow, perfectly, since I can "pay, as I go". For those feeling the "economic crunch", you might want to consider this purchase for its ability to substitute, quite handsomely, for a lot of expensive electronic non-essentials, that we've all grown too used to.
