We bought my DD a Samsung LG (touchscreen) phone from Walmart in September serviced by ATT. It was $99 but came with $50 credit on her account. If she uses the phone, it is $1/day. If she talks to an ATT customer than it's nothing more per minute. If it's a non-ATT customer then it's $10/min. We opt for the 200 texts for $5/mo. If you put on the minimum amount of $ (like $10 or $15) then you have to refill the phone again by a certain point or forfeit your $. If you put in more than $25 then it is good for 3 months. I hope this helps.
