NOTES: This review was and is for people who need a CHEAP good old mobile PHONE – not the BEST phone. I have since moved on to the LG Rumor Touch – better, then the Optimus V – amazing phone and value now priced at 0, and now the Motorola Triumph – which is incredible but at the cost of battery power. So stop with the – you’re cheap comments and see the review for what it is – a phone that got me through NYC when I arrived with little to no money. Now I am making a lot more and can afford a better phone BECAUSE I saved and made contacts when I had this. Learn. Don’t make stupid comments. We’ve all been in tight cash times and we’ve all wanted that super deal, so this review is for those of you who want to know how to get a decent phone activated quick, and CHEAP, that can text and surf the web unlimited! You CAN not find anything cheaper than this phone! The phone is under and performs faster than the same version Metro PCS sells for . The virgin mobile network is the Sprint network. It is better, faster, stronger. You can buy this phone anywhere for 10 bucks, and buy a card and have a working cell phone and unlimited text and web for under and you’re on! No contracts, no hassles, hell you don’t even have to give them your real name. I don’t plan to stay on this phone but it has served me well. Virgin mobile just vastly reduced the price of their plans to include all data / texting / internet. You only pay more for more minutes… being the lowest …

well they sell pre paid calling cards or whatever you call them at the dollar tree and i was wondering if i can just use those instead of buying original ones from the phone store…sooo would that be able to work or not?

I have been running into scams. Phone cards that say they’ll give me 60 minutes for only to announce 30 minutes at the beginning of the call and actually produce 17 minutes. I’m ready to pull my hair out. My boyfriend is in Honduras and I’m trying to call his cell phone.

This is the only phone card link you will ever need.

http://www.timedial.net/phone-cards-price-compare/

Time Dial searches the top sites for phone cards. It is the only phone card site that calculates and compares the full cost of calling cards including all rates fees and surcharges.

Simply answer 4 questions and it tells you how much a phone card will cost you for a given period with your stated usage. This way you get the minutes you expect.
