I also only have a tracfone. I do have a Kindle, however, which is probably about as addicting as a phone. Caleb, don’t get a phone (unless, of course, you need one). It will take over your life.
Depending on what you need to use it for, you might be able to get by with a tracfone. If you only need to use it for calling/texting people, you at least wouldn’t have the distraction of games or internet and things like that.
