If you want the phone for emergencies, Virgin is your best bet. The phone will cost you around $50 and calls are 25c/minute for the first 10 minutes then 10c after that, add 35c to the above for calls to the UK (rates don't drop for the international calls). You need to purchase a $20 card (minimum limit), I think they may have a $10 bonus charge on the phone already. BTW Virgin phones do not work in the UK (they don't even work in Canada). My T-Mobile phone worked nicely in the UK (using Vodaphone networks, they also share with O2, Orange and T-mobileUK of course) so you may want to check with your carrier and bring your own phone.
