We have four pay-as-you go phones. We pay $100/year for all four or about $8.33 per phone per month. This has met our needs well. It sounds like the Page Plus plan is a little cheaper in how much you need to keep the phone running and in the cost of minutes. The cost of minutes doesn’t matter much to us as we don’t use our phones that much.

You could buy the phone on your own name and give it to him and then you just maintain the account - add minutes onto his plan via the website when it is needed - you could set up an automated calendar reminder.

There are emergency plans where you use your credit card to make calls but he would have to enter credit card information for each call which could be a real nuisance.

Most of our phones can be charged off of our computers as recent phones typically use a Micro-USB port for syncing and charging. It’s a lot more convenient to have cheap USB cables than it is to have to pay for chargers which don’t work with different phone models.
