Prepaid phone just for texting?
I am wanting to get a prepaid phone just for texting. Can I have just a texting plan or do I have to have additional services or plans? I want the 200 messages for $5 per month. Will I need prepaid phone minutes even if I don't plan to tuse this phone for making calls?

(Or to be more accurate with my wording: Actually, the 90 or 265 days are the days before the account balance expires, the actual account is then left for another 60 days and is reactivated when a new refill is added. You will however loose what's left on the account if a refill isn't added in time, before the balance expires. Meaning 90 days for a $25 refill... Clear as mud? 😉 )

So if you'll mainly intend to do lots of texting, do looka around before going for ATT!

but wesley is looking at it as only spending $15 every 90 days instead of $25.

I'd want to keep in mind that if I don't keep at least $0.01 on the account "monetarily" (i.e. not converted to a messaging package) I won't even be able to make a mobile to mobile phone call from it (should I want/need to). With the current message plan pricing, he'll have 1 cent remaining, so it shouldn't be an issue; but cutting it that close, it's worth keeping in mind if you intend to "maybe" use the phone for a very occasional phone call.
