:iagree: Go to almost any store and pick up a pre-paid phone. Just look for the best deal of minutes and overall price. There are so many options and they vary depending on your location. We've used Tracfones and AT&T in the past; none were more than $30 and they included 30 - 60 minutes of text/calling. (The last one we picked up at Walmart for our youngest to use and it was $14.99 and had 30 minutes; the features were phone/text/camera.)
