This is not a good idea if they are on vacation and apt to visit
places off
the beaten path, i.e. national parks, etc. Virgin doesn't allow
off-Sprint
roaming, even at extra cost. Sprint's network is adequate in metro
areas,
but not eleswhere.

This is true. TracFone is probably the least trouble to acquire as
it's sold
in stores, though CallPlus is a better deal in terms of rates.
