Check Page Plus. I switched my TDMA prepaid accounts for my kids to
them. It's a renewal every 120 days. It's much better coverage than
Cingular, since it's on Verizon's network, and roaming is permitted.
Also AMPS use is permitted. It's also cheaper than GoPhone.

Yes, if you're going to be using a lot of minutes calling other Cingular
customers, then the GoPhone can make sense.

If you're just looking for a low-usage plan with low monthly minimums,
there are better options.
