With Ring +, you Don't always pay with money.

1 outgoing call every 60 days. they have a few plans that are free, some need a cc and 1 doesnt need anything. just a clean esn sprint phone. it can be checked on their site.
when you make calls you will hear music or ads instead of a regular ringer

"Emergencies only" cell phone plan
« on: August 16, 2015, 06:15:33 PM »
I want to give my 11 year old son a cellphone to use for his long bus commute to Yeshiva. He would use it if the bus never came to pick him up after school, or other "emergencies".

I see no point in paying Verizon $20+ per month to add him to my current unlimited calling family plan. The phone will get very very little use.

Does anyone know of a phone I can buy that has no monthly fee but charges a reasonable price per-minute for calls?

Or even better, $10 for 4 months = $2.50 per month.

Though both of these have a $0.50 monthly fee.
