My daughter got one from Walmarts and hated it. The phones weren't that good and kept dropping calls. She'd gotten two of them; one for her and one for her boyfriend. When they split up Walmart let him go into her account and change the phone into his name. When my daughter asked them about it they said well he knew her birthday; she told them you can find that on the internet. So they were supposed to have locked down her account and make it impossible for that to happen again; a month later he did it again. She canceled and went back to Sprint. My son now uses her Walmart phone and you buy so many minutes at a time. I know that Family Dollar also has one that my grandson has and it can either be monthly or you buy a card with minutes on it. Its a matter of finding out what works in your area or your husband's area I guess would be more of the problem.
