You just won't have phone service, but the rest of it will work.
I'm looking to get into the cheapest what I'll call 'wake-up phone' I can get. Until I let the payment lapse a few months back I kept a cheap boost phone just for a bedside wake up phone in case my regular phone was on silent. Only a couple people had the number and it never got used except for rare emergencies when I needed to be woke up. So because there was never any talk time on it keeping it on was cheap as I only paid $5 every 90 days. Now that my service is permanently off I'm trying to get into another similarly cheap pre-pay phone like that one. I'd like to get back into the same deal, but when I go online or in their store boost tells me they only have like $35/mo deals now and apparently I was 'grandfathered' into the deal I was getting.
Anybody know how I can get back into boost or any other similar pre-paid phone deal for as cheap as I used to have?
Or if there's a better place to ask this question please direct.
Thanks
