I have Virgin Mobile, which works out to around 8 bucks a month. But
with any pre-paid, you need to make sure it has coverage in the area
where it will be used.

You really need to be careful with prepaid services that don't allow
off-native-network roaming.

Many of the prepaid services allow you to use any compatible network
(CDMA or GSM), sometimes at extra cost, sometimes included.
Virgin/Sprint is not one of those services.

Virgin is among the worst prepaid options out there. It has a high price
per minute, high texting costs, high monthly minimums, poor coverage
with no roaming, and a horrible web site. Maybe now that Sprint fully
owns Virgin they'll do something about fixing it.
