The best option for prepaid is now CallPlus. You only have to buy $10
every 90 days ($3.33/month).
See "http://callpluswireless.com/html/cpw_faqs.html" (they have a
terrible web site, and it is very difficult to figure out how to
activate; you have to call them, and it takes just a few minutes). The
per-minute charge is rather high (25 cents), but I wanted this for
urgent use only, so it is okay for my needs.
I activated an old TDMA phone on CallPlus for my daughter. Too bad if
her friends have fancy camera phones; when I was a kid we had to use
these phones where you put coins in. Actually, I would have added her
to my Verizon plan for $10/month, except if I change my plan to a
family plan, I will lose my 8:01 p.m. off peak start time, which is
grandfathered into my current plan.
