What was the cheap pay as you go phone?
It was one of the daily advertised deals. The clamshell phone came in silver, blue, and pink. Does anyone have the link to that? Also is anyone using it?
I'm not using that one, but I WILL be switch to virgin mobile soon. Only 300 minutes with no nights and weekends free, but you also get unlimited data and texting for $25/month, they have android phones available, and it uses the sprint network. Or 1200 minutes a month with the same features for $40. I'm paying almost double that now...
Two weeks ago:
I found this by using the advanced search function with the search terms "#sponsored phone".

Unlimited minutes text and (very slow) internet. using Verizon's map for coverage. Cheaper if you pick limited. 1000 min 1000 text and 30mb of internet.
I have virgin and I pay $90/year. I don't know if that plan is good anymore, though (I might be grandfathered in). I never use minutes (maybe 3-5 minutes/month) and send about 40 texts/month, and I always have $$ left at the end of the year (which I keep if I just re-up with another $90). If you need a phone for emergencies but don't plan to use it, virgin is totally the way to go.
Thanks!
