I looked into that.  Their prepaid lasts you 365 days, and rates are
$0.25/min voice and $0.10/text.  That $25 is for talk, so it buys you
100min.  911 fee is $1.25/month.  It's good plan, if you don't do much.

99% of my usage is text.  They only have $15/month unlimited plan, which
kills any saving.

Compare Rogers prepaid "Talk" plan (Rogers has 3 plans).  $0.50/min and
$0.75/month 911 fee.  I save on the text addon, $5/month for 250 texts.
Payment only lasts 30 days, but the balance rolls over with automatic
TopUp.  So, that's my $5/month cell plan.
