Question:
While we're in NY, I want my daughter to have a cell phone for emergency purposes. She doesn't currently have one here at home and I don't think I'd like to commit to a cell phone plan just to have one for the week we're away. We do have access to a pay-as-you-go but it won't work outside the country.

I understand that Virgin has very cheap phones, but even after I visited their website, I'm just not understanding how it all works. Is it a plan, or a card or what?

Does anyone have any suggestions or can explain it for me?

Thanks in advance.
