Buy the phone at Target, Best Buy, etc. Prices start at $59.95. Phone case, earpiece, car power adapter, etc. come separately and can be purchased at the web site or in stores. (Service is by Sprint, so Sprint stores carry some accessories.) The cost for service is: 25 cents/minute for the first 10 minutes every day, then 10 cents/minute thereafter. On days that you don't use it, you pay nothing. No taxes, no service charges, no miscellaneous fees. Just buy a "Power Up" card, or use a major credit card, to recharge your balance when it drops below $5.00

Today through Saturday you can buy a $20 "Power Up" card at Target for $15 + tax.
