Virgin mobile is pretty cool, you have free roaming and can recieve free text messages. You could buy the phone card and the phone. but just make sure you put at least $20 on the phone every 3 months.

I also think it is a good deal wiht your parents if they buy the phone and you pay for the minutes! I think it is almost =. Hope you get your phone!!

sshelbyy answered Thursday December 30 2004, 4:26 pm: <basefont color=black>Why dont you want a plan? A plan is actually better than calling cards because with a plan you don thave to worry about your card running out of minutes and its way better. If I were you i would let your parents get you a plan. You can find the plan that fits and find out all the information and print it all out and show your parents the costs monthly and the phone costs. Their more likely to give in if your organized and they know exactly what theyd be paying for.</font> [ sshelbyy's advice column | Ask sshelbyy A Question ]
Know*It*All answered Thursday December 30 2004, 2:45 pm: I think that is totally fair! Sit down with them and explain all the reasons why you need one! tell them that you will even pay for the minutes and that you will even try to pay them back! (if you want) that's how i got my phone! GOOD LUCK! let me know how it goes! Know*It*All [ Know*It*All's advice column | Ask Know*It*All A Question ]
