Need Help please

[FreeMORALagent]

I am in need of a phone and provider, however I do not know what to get. My mom is making me pay for my own phone, so something that is 70$ a month is out of the question. I was looking to spend somewhere around 40$-50$ a month.

The best thing to go with seemed Metro PCS, but the price of the phones are ridiculous. I dont want to spend 150+ on a ****ty phone. With other service providers, phone are a lot cheaper...but the plans are more expensive.

So basically my question is..could I get a cheaper Metro PCS phone somehow, Or a different phone and get Metro PCS phone service on it? Or are there any other providers that are cheap?

All I really want is talking time and texting...no internet or anything like that.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Im from Michigan if that helps anyone (Detroit area)
