I've not seen disposable phones.

But if she is on a plan over in Mike-Hordville she can probably get
"roaming" turned on which will allow her to use her current phone / plan
over here.

They do sell "disposable" simcards though. You buy a dollar amount of calls
and you get a number to use with it. Lasts about 6 months, I think. If she
uses the dollar amount of the card she can get a top up.
