Cheap Verison Cell Phones?

  I am looking to buy a new cell phone but I want to keep it on cheaper edge as am really not in condition to spend large bucks over it. I am using a Sprint cell phone but not very happy with it so I have decided to switch to Verison . I have heard that Verison cell phones comes up with all modern features and affordable call rates but I am not sure about it. So those who use Verison cell phones I need your opinion on it and also need to know about all the plans for text messages as I am very fond of it…
