There are no contract cell phones on the market. You can Google "No contract cell phone". Go to Best Buy on the web and you can select from a variety of simple, basic phones. |

It is called SVC and only costs $15 to buy. There is no contract, so you only pay for the minutes you use. This can be as low as $7 a month, but more if you use the phone a lot. I think that you get it at K MArt |
