You couldn't swap your SIM card into a Virgin Mobile phone. They don't use SIM cards.

You could buy a $20 ATT wireless phone and use that, or even take the SIM out and put it in your unlocked phone.

AT&T SIMs expire after something like 3 months, so if he's only spending a month in the US per year, he'd have to get a new one each time. Not a huge deal if he doesn't care about the phone number, but I hate having to arrange for a new SIM card each time I make a trip back to the US (especially since there's not a good way to get one ahead of time).

Country: US, but no set provider
Current Contract: None
Budget: about $120 max/month for 2 lines. Phones can be up to $200
Phone Features: Good browser, wifi, easy-to-use qwerty keyboard, good phone software (ie no constant ROM updates please)
Plan Features: Friends/Family type thing would be nice (but we can share about 500 minutes), unlimited data, 1000 or so text messages

If the Pre comes out by the time we need it (June 17th at the earliest), we'll probably both get one of those with an EPRP Sprint plan, but if not, is there any iPhone plan that would get us those features for about $120/month? Maybe after a new iPhone is released we can swoop in and pick up some unlocked iPhone 3Gs on ebay to use on t-mobile.
