How about…what is it the firefly phone or something? The one where you have 5 phone numbers on your phone. No offense but your 13, you really don’t need a phone at that age. Unless of course there is alot of danger in the area where you live and you need it to call your parents incase of a problem. Also I think that needs to be your parents decision unless you have a job and are willing to pay for your phone service.

Virgin Mobile because there is no monthly service fee. Your unused minutes roll over each month. You can even get certain phones for free ’cause they include air time (like the OYSTR).
Text messages are 5¢ or less and there are also unlimited plans for cheap.
I’ve had my Virgin Phone for 2 years.
They have hundreds of cool ring tones, wall paper and screen savers you can get.

You can buy online or at many stores like Target or Walmart in the USA.

I think in the US you have a “family plan” option where you can share some of your parents’ minutes? When I lived in the US, many of my friends had that.
I used to think that 13 was too young for a cell phone, but times have changed and a several years of living in Hong Kong and England have changed my perception too (because every kid has a phone in these parts, where there are more cell phones than people…)

Hm . . .
I’d talk to the AT&T (used to be Cingular) salesmen about their prepaid services because I believe you can get prepaid plans without buying those cards (it has a preset number of minutes and such on it). That way, the minutes you don’t use will Rollover to next month, which really is convenient. I believe it’s $ 20 a month for unlimited texting and such as well.
Whatever you do: Don’t go with Alltel. They are vicious when it comes to activation / deactivation fees (in case something happens), insurance (if you lose your phone you have to report it within 30 days or they will pay NOTHING on a replacement phone which is bogus), and other fees they like to stick on your bills.
