I think we went over this about 3 months ago. I suggest that you check
the archives. Someone had a really good web site that compared various
pay-as-you-go plans.

If I remember correctly the winner was 7-11 who had a cheap phone, and
a low per minute cost. Refills were required every 120 days, rather
than the 90 that Virgin Mobile required.

It is important to check the coverage maps that are available on line.
There were AT&T Wireless plans that were fantastic, but the area in
which my wife travels to work was not on network, and a very expensive
roaming charge applied.
