I found the phone (a Samsung Entro) for $8 new
in Walgreens and was able to port my existing
smartphone account to it. I get 300 minutes of
talk and unlimited texts for US$ 25/month. I've
been pleasantly surprised by the reception and
audio quality and I charge it once or twice per
week.

PagePlus gives you 250 minutes/month for $12, or 1200 for $30 with some data
as well. Any Verizon phone. But the support people at Verizon were unable
to help a friend 'program' a VN250 LG Cosmos that is known to work with Page
Plus - claimed it had no 'MIN' number to change. $10/100 min (120 days).
How did your garden do this summer? No frosts here yet.

If I change jobs and have to buy another smart phone for
personal use, I may be able to move my existing plan to it.
It has unlimited text and more-or-less unmetered data
(throttled after 2 Gbytes but not cut off). I'm hoping to
hang onto this plan.

haha, cell phone discussion. Not that far removed from topicality, given that
Android uses the Linux kernel, at least.

If XNU counts as a BSD, then iOS is on-topic too.
