We have a prepaid phone that we got at WalMart (I can't remember the brand... whatever WalMart carries) & we love, love, love it! The phone itself is great & the service of the company is truly the best customer service we've ever gotten anywhere. Trac Phone... that's what it is. We got it just as a "let's see if we really want a cell phone" deal, thinking if we decided to stay with a cell phone, we'd get a "real one" & have been so happy with this little cheapie, we haven't switched! And we've never run out of minutes (of course, we don't have a teenager texting 24/7 or anything on it either). I would say, go for it!!!
