[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of phone? Flips/basic or smart?[/quote] I looked around for a flip phone and they seemed to hard to find and not any cheaper than low end smartphones (note some people report that flip phones are "socially unacceptable" to the MS set but that wasn't really something I cared about). I ended up finding a cheap smartphone that cost $50 without contract. [/quote] Tracfone is the way to go. You can buy a year of service and 400 min. of talk and 400 texts and 400 mb of data if it is a rudamentary "smart phone" -- for $100/yr. If you get the 3g data phones, then the internet will work, but they will not be as good as their friends (a built in deterrent). Let them talk and text, but minimize the unsupervised internet usage. If you buy the triple minutes for life, you get 1200 min. of talk and 1200 texts for $20 more than the one year service plan. [/quote]
