I use a Motorola Barrage on Pageplus around the ranch, I wouldn't carry a smartphone around here, get kicked or bumped far too often, plus greasy or worse hands 99% of the time. My cousin had one and lost it in the pasture for a whole year, found it, charged, and it still worked after rainstorms (the few we had) and the winter. For town/on the road, I got a Boost Moto G and put it on Pageplus as well. That way I don't have to have a data plan with it, but can look up directions or whatever when I'm by Mcdonalds or something (or pay for data if needed). The G is water resistant as well and a decent phone, I have it in this case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9RMNUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Takes a bit of work to get on Pageplus but not difficult for me, many "nerds" could probably do it. I don't use either much, $10 each every 4 months for service. Android is very reliable, allows more customization, couldn't give me an iphone (personal preference, have used iproducts extensively, I'm not their target user). Learning to just use, both are similar enough, not ~that much different overall.

There is a Moto E, stripped down and a bit smaller than a G, on Tracfone (Verizon network), had the phone, plus one year of service with 1200 minutes, texts and 1.2GB of data for $99 the other day, triple minutes on the phone. LG Ultimate 2, same year service, $140 on HSN, bit more features on that. Either would be ok for a "beater" phone. Tracfone has bad customer service, but actual cell service is good, used them for over 10 years and never had an issue. Getting to be other decent options under $100 with no contract commitments. Straighttalk is also owned by Tracfone (as is Pageplus). Looks like Straighttalk has the phones I mentioned, but require the $45 per month plan. Which is ok if you don't mind paying that. If you look at any others, you want Android 4.4 preferably, and I'd for sure avoid 2.XX/whatever if possible. Some models they offer aren't very good.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
