THANKS!  Looking into this in more detail:
1) get a http://pagepluscellular.com "standard" plan with a $50 or $80 
card
2) find an LG Ally on eBay or elsewhere with "clean ESN".
3) activate phone
4) get Square Up deal
5) buy new Page Plus cards for $10 or more every 3 months.

Does that sum it up?  For long term light usage, that has it down as 
low as $4/month.  Plus maybe $300 to get started.
