I live in No. Va. also and use T-Mobile pre-paid for uses like you describe. Advantages: - low cost: first year I paid $100 for 1000 min. Used 500 in first year, second year is $50 for another year. Hard to beat $4 per month. Disadvantages: T-Mobile coverage is spotty. OK here.

YMMV You must check the coverage of any Cell phone company prepaid or not before purchasing. Different companies have different coverage. What works well in one area may not work well in another. If you will use the phones in multiple places check out the coverage in all places. I use
