TracPhone recs?

[sasha_feather]

In an effort to cut costs, I'm looking for a tracphone. Here is a little secret about me, and that is, I hate shopping for things I actually need. Jesse the K gave me a rec, but I thought I would ask here as well to see if anyone has experience or advice on what to buy.

What I would like ideally:
--not a whole lot of minutes; I don't make tons of calls
--lots of texting
--a texting keyboard on the phone itself, and even better, a flip phone (because flip phones are cool and you can't hit the buttons accidentally)

Tell me what to do, internet! Advice appreciated!

I'll raise my hand as a former Virgin Mobile user. When I had it, I found it to be reliable and reasonable as to cost. My only caveat was that if I was in certain buildings, I couldn't get calls in but that was years ago and the technology is probably much better now.
