Whole day looking for a cheap cell phone that will remember your contacts

There's a big difference in price between having a cell phone which is pay as you go and the other types.  For the past two years I've been using a tracfone.  I use my tracfone for maybe 120 minutes a month.  For the whole year I probably pay about $350.  I've prided myself on that.  Most people past 40 years of age do not text very much.  All I want is a phone that can remember my contacts at a store.  The best plan for that is arround 1200 a year minimum.  So instead of paying the extra $850 for the privledge of having a substandard phone with substandard features I bought a Net10 phone and entered my contacts by hand.  It took me 30 minutes to put the contacts in.  I don't have a 2 year contract and saved alot of money
