Cel phone for the winter only
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?

As much as I dislike greedy VZ they do have the most cell towers across the boonier parts of the US.
If you get a cdma model (not gsm) TracFone it should use the VZ network.
I believe buying your Tracfone at a Walmart in a mostly-VZ zip code will get you the cdma model.
Cell networks across the US have kept improving every year we've done our East Coast to West Coast trips but VZ's steady improvement has kept it out in front for rural coverage. Carrier choice for urban areas and Interstate highways coverage matters less.
