Another not-good story

We have used Net10 and Tracfone for the past few years. Husband's phone was Net10 and mine, Tracfone. Both were CDMA phones and we are in a remote area that uses Verizon, mostly roaming. Up until 2 weeks ago things were no better or worse than our previous Verizon contract.
Something happened and the phones no longer work. It probably has something to do with their contract with Verizon. We were told we needed to have a SIM card phone. The bad part - I had purchased a 60 day and a 90 day card one month before I had to. They are refusing to give me a refund, but I think my credit card will refund my money.
Good news - because of your wonderful website I am getting a Doro phone from Consumer Cellular and a free SIM card that will go into an older Nokia 6010 and hoping they will work. AT&T is showing a partner coverage but other residents here have AT&T.
Consumer Cellular have a 30 day Money back trial. My backups are Verizon pay as you go or Jitterbug. Thanks again for your site. I am quite the cell phone expert. I have viewed more coverage maps than I ever want to (most with that awful white NO SERVICE background.)
