My friend wants to give me his pantech matrix phone due to the fact his families plan went delinquent. Since I dont really use phones for talking. I thought I might be able to go get a prepaid sim card and buy go mins etc and get unlimited texting for $20. Is this feasible and where should I look for a sim card?should I go to walmart and buy a cheap phone and just switch the sim cards or is there a cheaper way to get my hands on a sim?

if you have the phone and ned a sim the MOST you can be charged for a sim is 25 bux.AFAIK the cheapest phone is 39.99 (regular price) look to see if there are any phones on sale for less than 25 bux
