Where is the best place to get one?

I've been told that Target Stores sell "Phone-To-Go" for $19.95, and then you add whatever number of pre-paid minutes you want by using your CC.

Is this the way to go for a temporary hook-up?

best to buy and charge it up with a disposable credit card, too.

MySpace and Facebook are popular for temporary hook-ups.

T-mobile, seriously. Radio Shack.

I have a cheap ass prepaid Nokia T-Mobile prepaid that I bought 4 years ago for a cross country trip. I knew I was going to Japan and didn't want to get into a contract. 3 years in Japan and I dust off the phone. It still works like a champ, texting is no problem.

I maybe put $50 (500 minutes) in it every 2 - 3 months. I have gotten coverage everywhere I have used it in the states.

I got a "Virgin Mobile" phone for $20 (there are cheaper models). I bought it from their website, but they are available in LOTS of places (Radio Shack, KMart, Rite Aid, etc).

You use your CC to dump money into your account..........two cents/minute......less if you buy them in chunks.

I don't use a phone often, so my monthly bill will be less than $10.

They offer all types of plans if you use a lot of minutes or need texting, etc.

ok, a serious reply. it really depends on where you are and what you will use the phone for. Make sure that whatever you buy is on a network that has good coverage area. where I live, if you are not on the Verizon network, coverage area sucks.

if you will have good coverage area, base your choice on price. lots of options out there.

Charge it up with cash so it is untraceable. They can find enough parts after the detonation to identify and trace it back to a credit card.

If you don't want a contract, but need more use of minutes, internet, and texting. You might consider MetroPCS (or as I call it Merto Piece of ****).

No contract, I pay 54 with taxes for my daughter's "plan". Unlimited text, internet, minutes. You have to buy a decent phone. Best Buy for that one.

Every Office Depot I have visited has several of them in the bargain bin, usually around $20.

Is "disposable cell phone" code for "detachable ****"? If so, I have no idea where to get one.

Sure would freak out a lot of parents if you could get one, glue it to your forehead, and then walk around the ball pit at a Chuck E. Cheese, though, wouldn't it?
