I use a Tracfone. The phone was $100, it came with 20 minutes. I use less than a hundred minutes a month. 200 minutes cost about $39.

You have to buy time every three months or you lose service. I have no problems, it works anywhere. Have been using this for 2 years and I pretty much like it.

Thank you for posting!

Tracfone is actually what I've been thinking of getting. I liked what I saw on their website but figured it'd be good to get first hand input like yours. :-)

I just switched from Cingular to TracFone in June. I got a Nokia phone (factory refurbed, 1 yr warranty), 40 minutes good for 90 days for less than $30.
I activated on line for another 10 minutes and bought a 1 year card with 150 minutes that doubles any purchased minutes (making my 150 into 300) for $120. Then I switched my old number over for another 100 minutes and sent invites to my freinds to swap. Anytime they swap & use my email as a reference they & I get 100 minutes. I ended up with 500 minutes good until 12/2006 for about $150.
That works out to about $8.33 a month if I don't use up my 500 minutes in the next 18 months.
TracFone also extends time from your last end date up to 24 months.
