I finally got Virgin Mobile after having T-Mobile for 4 yrs. $25 a month and I have unlimited texting,web and 300 minutes. Both my kids have(18 and 21) V.M. too--they got their phones when they were able to pay for what they wanted. My daughter has a Droid type phone with all bells and whistles and pays $35(I think)a month.I think it's a good deal.
