... losing cell phones every 6 months? Currently, she is with Tmobile with 600 minute AT and unlimited on the weekend/holidays. Still, she has gone way over ... she's going through an unfriendly divorce. TIA

It's true, your Auntie is notorious. We've heard stories about your cell-phone-losing moon-bat Auntie up here in Seattle for ages, that's your Aunt? Had no idea! Good luck!

Oops, I got the wrong crazy Auntie.
It's this Auntie I got it mixed up with.

Never mind!

the cheapest pre-paid on fatwallet right now

I would not get her any cell phone until she can take control of her life. Getting her a cell phone now is implicit support of her current habits. Is that the message you want to give?

Mr. Curmudgeon, on Snow Leopard.

This might be a good person for Verizon. Find a 2-year-old phone style that works for her and buy extras on eBay from one of the large resellers that grades phones. You can get second-level quality phones really cheap and then program them by phone or online for free whenever she loses one. Figuring out which plan is right is, of course, based on how much calling she does.

I'd get her a prepaid T-Mobile account. She can't run over without actively refilling the account, which might get her to pay better attention to the cost. T-Mobile had a deal with a $25 refill card, which meant you make money on the cheapest phones.
