Hi Everyone,
My wife and I are taking a trip through California, Oregon and Nevada in September. Basically, I hate cell phones, (I am tied to a Blackberry for work), but need an inexpensive (I dont want or need all the bells and whistles), but good coverage phone.
Also, at one time I checked out a plan where you paid a set amount and then you could use it for 3 months and then replenish your minutes (but the coverage sucked and you lost your minutes after 3 months if not used)!

Really, I just want something for personal emergencies or very occasional calls. Coverage and low price are paramount. No bells, no whistles. If anyone knows or can help me here it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
