Plus, you can bring your old phone number with you, so you won’t have to memorize a new one or update your family and friends on how to reach you.

Sparklight’s Economy Phone is only five dollars per month cheaper than the Standard Phone. If all you want to do is keep a landline phone handy for emergencies, the Economy phone might be all you need.
But because the Standard Phone comes with a guaranteed-for-life price, you could save in the long run if you sign up and stick with the Standard Phone for an extended period.
To sweeten the pot, Sparklight’s Standard Phone can do seventeen things the Economy Phone can’t.
You might not use all of the features above, and they’re not all that impressive compared to what a smartphone can do, but it’s nice to have options.
If you frequently make long-distance calls, keep in mind that Sparklight has different rates for each country. Within the US, it’s $0.10 per minute on the Economy Phone plan, or you can get unlimited minutes included with the Standard Phone plan.
But if you’re calling Mexico City, it will cost only $0.05 per minute. Harder to reach places are more, like Tonga, which costs $4 per minute. Those prices can add up fast, and you would probably be better off using an online service if you can—like Google Hangouts or even good-ish ole Skype.
