Samsung was selling their pre-paid clamshell phone for free after rebate this past weekend. There was a serious pirana feeding frenzy around the display. It almost looked like the display and offer was meant to go beyond the weekend so check it out. I know nothing about their cost/minute. The phone looked to be a step up from the basic TracFone/Net10 models. The display said they use Sprint's network.

Also, Is the phone for you or your dad? I couldn't be sure from your post. If you want a phone but will be adding it to your dad's plan, be aware carriers provide the same discount deals for add-on phones as they do for the primary phone.
