You know the type of hillbilly that has no job he just gets scrap metal and other usless junk to take to the junk yard to get a few bucks out of. And somehow they make enough money out of it to live of of....anyway

$100 on virgin mobile?
that's a perfect start to a new line!!
so what if he's got no credit? even if he has to pay a 150 deposit, by month 4 or 5 he's already spent less on the deposit and service than he'd spend on virgin re-ups...
set him up like this:
900 min plan - $60/month.
deposit + act fee 186
after 9 months he's even, past that, he's $10 - 40 bucks ahead every month, and 3 months later he gets his deposit back.
