Paging Robo: What's the skinny on the best prepaid option for just having a number? I have no desire to actually *use* the phone, I just need a number to attach my GV number to. Seriously. No minutes used on my current $10/month line that's on my family plan in the past 3 or 4 months. Thoughts?

The next best deal for keeping a line open is T-Mobile prepaid, which is $10 for 90 days, until you spend $100 in refills, in which you get "gold rewards" and $10 gives you a year.
chart T-Mobile refills are also available in more stores. With T-Mobile you can also just get a free SIM and activate that in any unlocked GSM phone you have, rather than having to buy a phone just for the number. But if you want a phone you can get T-Mo prepaid phones in lots of stores for like $19. So yeah, that's probably the better deal, now that I think about it. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

As far as the T-Mobile prepaid phones? Naw. I think the cheapest is the Nokia 1661, but you might find different deals in other stores. It's a pity this isn't Black Friday or something; I grabbed a few Motorola Renews for like $6 at Best Buy in 2009, but I've since all given them to friends/used them to fence things, so
