I have a prepaid cell with Virgin. According to the virgin website this would not work in US. Only the monthly plans work in the US.
Any suggestions on what to do for a temp cell phone.? What do you do in case of an emergency on the highway? Can we buy a prepaid in US?
Hi Guys
I just spoke to virgin and they told me to buy a virgin (US) prepaid airtime card for $15 or $20 and you get a phone free with that!!

you can buy prepaid phones in Walmart as well ( around 20/30 USD ) ... after that you can throw it away .
or if you have an unlocked GSM you can get a prepaid monthly plan from T-Mobile ( around 35 plus tax ) ... of course you will need a US address for this .

That's not of much use. For road side assistance and other non-life threatening emergencies, you cannot call 911
