I am wondering what prepaid cell phones are available?  I apologize in advance for this posting as I know I've seen this information before on this board but now that I'm actually considering contacting a provider I can't find the name of a cell phone I can go buy with cash.

Are these prepaid phones all basically the same?  I've heard of Virgin, Trak, etc. depending on what retailer you visit.  Are some better in terms of coverage areas?  I travel throughout the US and Canada-so broad coverage would be important as well as no personal info reqd, etc.

A client of mine just told me tonight he bought his Trac phone from Walmart for only $9.

I got a Motorola Flip Trac Fone for just under $20 for cash at WM.  I buy refill minutes & 90 days every 3 months anywhere with cash.  I chose this one since it fits my belt carrier.  I swap my regular phone with my hobby phone for a date & then swap the back on the way home.  (Shut hobby phone off when not in use.)  
If you can afford to play, you can afford to be careful.  When I started, I promised I'd not do anything stupid.  Leaving tracks is stupid.

You can also get a Google voice number for free.

That's what I use

I was thinking of getting a hobby phone as well. But i was wondering, do you guys get them strictly not be caught by your SO or because of LE? The SO is not an issue for me, so should i bother getting one anyway?
thanks.
