Wal-Mart sells a Go-Phone for about $20. This is the kind of phone that you pay as you go & you can buy a card for I think $15 on up. The phone comes with a $10 card included. This is what my granddaughter has & with this set-up, your not tied down with a regular plan. These phones are AT&T. Mine is AT&T & I get good coverage most everywhere I go.
