If I wanted to cell phone with a cheap, cheap plan, for basic talk and text only, what would you suggest?

if it’s available in your area check out MetroPcs, there plans start at $35.00 a month with unlimited talk & text

I have a Motofone F3. I got it unlocked from www.motorola.com. It has the ability to talk and text but has many downsides. For example no outbox for text messages. Its the cheapest unlocked Motorola phone you can buy but I still think it’s great. It’s very slim, simple, and built strong.

prepaid cell phones at 7–11, i have a few friends who use them.

cricket works great! Starting at $35.00 unlimited calling.
