I have no socially redeeming value.
My family has taken in a married couple from another country who are in the US on refugee status. I'd like to get them setup with mobile phones so they can get around easier. Budget is obviously a consideration but here's the criteria I'm trying to help them meet.

1) Two lines
2) Two cheap smartphones
3) Ideally unlimited text + data
4) They will do international calling, but this can be done through Google Voice or through a phone card, so no need for an international plan.

Is there an ideal setup for two people, or should I get them setup on Straight Talk for $45/mo *2 or Virgin Mobile's $35/mo plan?

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving, all!

Google Voice wont be a dealbreaker for them, they can use phone cards. Any reason not to get them two HTC One Vs for $99 / each off contract and get them Virgin Mobile accounts? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13221631&prodFindSrc=cart

Thanks for the tips. They are refugees from Iran, so I don't think they will have crazy minute usage (a lot of Skype calling though). Will also refer them to Rebtel.
