We use tmobile pay as you go phones. But we don't use cell phones everyday. I would check out their website. I don't want to give you bad info about them. The parents can buy them for the kids, get so many mins and when the kids come home, stash the phones. Depending on how many min you buy, determines the cost per min, and the length the mins are good for. We buy 100 dollar card which gives us 1000 min with a year to use them. This is great for us. For my DS, that would be about one month's worth.
