Shopping for a new cell phone

Now that my daughter has one of those good paying jobs she is ready to get off the mom and dad phone plan and move up to a smart phone.  It looks like Verizon will be the carrier and the iPhone will be the phone of choice.  I wasn't sure about having an Apple phone but with the Apple care insurance it seems like the way to go.

And my dad has a phone on our plan.  He only uses it a few times a year so we decided to use a prepaid phone with Page plus service. http://www.pagepluscellular.com/
They have a $10.00 100 minutes or 120 days which ever comes first plan.  And we can use an old Verizon phone, port his number from Sprint and we are good to go.
