It depends on how often you'll use it. I used to look for "most minutes" and all that but soon discovered that I was spending upwards for $35/month for a phone I used less than an hour a month. We ended up getting the Virgin Mobile pay as you go plan. You buy the phone outright (there are several to choose from - we choose the $100 small flip phones). You have to put at least $20 worth of credit on the phone every three months to keep it active. The billing is $0.25 a minute for the first 10 minutes of any day and $0.10 a minute after that. The per minute cost is flat (no long distance or other charges). So far I've never needed more than the $20 every three months. So my phone costs $80 a year with a $100 initial cost.
