I just ordered a yearly (360 day) phone plan from Red Pocket Mobile for $30.
This is for my kids to communicate with us when they are at practices, etc so I'm not looking for a lot of minutes or data. They will be using my wife's old phone so there wasn't an additional cost for the phone.
It's 200 minutes, 1000 texts and 200MB data on the Sprint network. I can't believe we can get cell phone plans that cheap.
