Yes, there are a lot of hip new phones on the market. Yes, it’s nice to have an app for nearly every conceivable life situation. Is it necessarily worth the other hassles, however? That’s remains a matter of opinion. For many cell phone users, the simplest form of communication is still the preferred one. To use a Go Phone, traditionally developed for Pay As You Go Plans, you don’t necessarily have to subscribe to that coverage. Almost any phone plan can use a Go Phone device, so why would someone instead opt for rudimentary technology instead of the savvier systems on the market?

1. Price Go Phones are incredibly cheap for what you get. Similar in make and functionality to phones that would have cost more than 100 less than a decade ago, today they retail for less than 20 in many stores.
2. Peace of Mind A corollary to price, the peace of mind comes in knowing that if you drop your cell phone in glass of water, the sink or the ocean you aren’t all of a sudden on the hook for a big billed exchange. Simply go to your local Wal-Mart and pick up another Go Phone, then home the Sim Card is salvageable.
3. Durability The good news about having a tiny, non-touch screen is its nearly impossible to crack. Furthermore, the overall small and rounded shape makes it less vulnerable to the occasional drop, looking more or less like a stone with a speaker box. And with a cheap plastic finish, it’s not like scratches and scrapes are of any major concern.
4. Increasing functionality Not only can they talk and text, but most Go Phones now have basic internet capability as well. What more can you possibly need? After all, you probably have a computer at home to take care of all the heavy lifting. A phone is by definition a talking device, which it already goes above and beyond.
