Virgin Mobile

I just got a good deal on one of their phones at Radio Shack this weekend. I bought it for my Dad to have with him in case of an emergency or if I need to get in touch with him while he out with the car.
I did not sign up for the service yet and I have not even told my Dad that I got it for him yet. I did not open it up yet so I can take it back if he does not want one.
My question is does anyone have their service? I have Verizon but I don't like them and their phones were way too much $$$. I just want to do a 'Pay as you go" type deal for my Dad because I am sure that he won't be using it that much. Maybe one hour total a month if even that much. I figure that even if I buy a $20.00 card for 90 days and he never uses it I will still be only out $40.00.
