We will be spending four months in the USA. What is the best (and the cheapest) cellphone that we could use there?

Thanks.

ps: I have a late model IPad with +3G. Would it help?

go to any taget, wal mart, k-mart, etc. and simply get a "burner" phone...a pay-as-you-go phone. it's a pay-as-you-go. most, like the one my bro-in-law bought for his visit here a few months ago, come with 'X' number of minutes good for 90-days.
