True emergency use doesn't require a phone plan at all. Legally, all working cell phones must be able to call 911 without any service plan.
No, we knew that. We're talking about "the kids and I are stuck in Nowhereville and can't get home for hours"-style emergencies.
However, if you want something that allows calls to people other than 911, your best bet is either to do tracfone or to get a family member or friend to add her phone to their plan as a second line for $10/month.
Er, we already have a primary plan (Tim's cell), and we've been asking Verizon for ages about adding on a second line, and they always want $30-35/month minimum. Who adds a line for only $10?
