    They should remove unlimited voice calls and make everyone using the phone network pay by the minute. It would eliminate robodialing instantly.

      I wish they would bring back prepaid/pay as you go service. I want a number where I can receive/send an occasional call or text without having to pay a monthly contract.

        tello gets you close in the US, a few dollars a month minimum ($5 maybe?) I use it on my burner flip phone.

          Still, you used to be able to preload $5 of minutes/sms onto a phone and it would last until you used it up. I don’t want a monthly fee.
