Saving $$ on your Verizon flip phone,,

8 years ago

When I am in Corozol I use a Verizon flip phone. I bought it for 50.00 US down near the bay. The phone usage is determined by minutes which are purchased and credited to the phone. The rate is fifty cents per minute. These phones are perfectly adequate, can take pictures, text, and call back to the US quite well. The Chinese seem to own most of the stores in Corozol. They have what they call double up and triple up days. This is when you can get say two minutes or three min utes for the price of one. Shows you what a racket the phone companies are running. Anyhow, you can go into any little Chinee Mom and Pop store, food establishment and the like and give them your phone number. They will accept your money and text you your phone minutes right then and there. This blew my husband away one night at about 11:00.... He said, isn't Verizon closed?? No dear, just watch. I went into a hole in the wall and came out with 150 minutes for the price of fifty.... Belize trips him out..LOL..I love it!
