Finding the Right Cell Phone Plan

I have been unemployed for 8 months, am 57 years old, and have recently filed for disability, based upon the suggestions of 3 different doctors. I live in northern central Texas.

I recently cancelled my cell phone as it was an expense I could no longer afford. I just read that “any charged cell phone can call 911″ and would like to know if it is a factual statement. The comment stated that people do not have to have a cell phone service [e.g. no verizon, sprint, at&t or the like - no service provider whatsoever].

911 is really the only need I have for a cell phone. I can get by with my home phone for all other issues, as I have a DSL internet line and have a VOIP home phone – thus cutting my phone bills by over 65percent. I pay less for my VOIP and DSL than I did for a simple Sprint cell phone package [seriously, my phone is so old it does not even take pictures, and I have never texted on it, it is totally black and white no frills].

If anyone knows for sure about the 911 availability, I would greatly appreciate a response, either affirming or denying the comment I read. Thanks so much!
