    Headsets are cool cause you can throw them at the ground like a football coach whenever dispatch sends you on a 4-stop load in New Jersey

    That’s right it was a useable phone.

    This was 10 years ago so it wasn’t as important to have a phone that did much more than make phone calls and the occasional text and email.

    Im sure they have more modern phones in the company store nowadays. They probably are more than $35

    I just remember thinking you could get a better phone/phone plan at walmart for the same price.

    I know I may be the only person who feels this way, but my phone recommendation is to find one that is SIM unlocked and will work on any network. Some phone carriers will unlock the SIMs after 6 months or less. Do your research and find a phone that will work on any network. The primary reason this is so important is if you find that say Verizon is not what you want, all you have to do is change out the SIM and replace it with another Carriers SIM. On my iPhone, I have two SIMs with 2 carriers. Keri does as well on hers.
