Just a thought -- you may want to consider getting him on the same carrier as yourself, sometimes calls from mobile to mobile in the same carrier are free.
Then he can call home without costing anything.
FWIW, I'm on T-Mobile prepaid and happy with it. I put $100 on my account and it will last me a year plus. I just add $10 at the year and everything rollsover. So I get about 18 months for $110, obviously I don't use it much. However I do have a 1st Generation iPhone for it. I can't surf or do anything online with it but the apps that work offline are very handy.
