Virgin Mobile Kyocera K9 Pay-As-You-Go Wireless Phone
A Great Phone For People On A Tight Budget
This is a very good phone and has a pretty price tag, and since this phone is through Virgin Mobile, there are no contracts!!!  I  previously owned this phone and it was a great phone.  I had to pay for my own phone so I got the cheapest one because I couldn't wait for one.  This phone may be cheap but is still very good.  You will definitely get a \\"bang\\" for your buck.  This has most of the features of the more expensive phones (obviously not a camera) and has a flashlight.  There is a feature to lock the keys for your phone so you're not dialing someone while the phone is in your pocket (believe me, I've done it before).  The black and white screen and battery life are very good.  Also, the ringtones on this phone get really loud since the speaker is on the outside of the phone, unlike flip phones.  The only thing some people may not like it there are no downloadable games (and the games on the phone are really boring) and there is no speakerphone but it didn't bother me that much.  I recommend this phone for people who want a phone but don't need all those fancy features or for people who don't want to spend a lot for a cell phone.   <br /> <br />Now this is why you should get a phone through Virgin Mobile.  Virgin Mobile is the best prepaid service provider.  TracFone is just HORRIBLE (minutes go as high as $.50 a minute and text messages are $.30 each and I think you have to pay to receive text messages with TracFone).  With Virgin Mobile, its $.25 a minutes for the first ten minutes of the day and $.10 a minute after that.  Text messages are $.10 to send and free to receive.  A lot of content is available at virginmobileusa.com for putting on your phone (ringtones, celebrity voicemail greetings, MTV and Comedy Central Content, and a lot more).  You only have to play $20 every three month which is A LOT cheaper than most cell phone service providers.  And best of all, NO CONTRACTS!!!  Virgin Mobile is the way to go for prepaid phone service.
