I have three of these: hand crank solar radio w/weatherband and flashlight
Highly recommended.
Sure. Just bear in mind that some prepaid phones minutes expire and have minimum purchase of minutes.
I have something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WR-089-Emergency-Flashlight/dp/B004068AWU/
Note that the solar panel only charges the flashlight/radio's internal battery. In order to charge a phone you have to use the crank. I have used it to charge my wife and mine's cell phones (HTC One M8 and LG G3) and I also use it along with a $1-2 USB battery charger to charge my eneloop batteries:

It's very easy to turn the crank and doesn't require much effort. I can do it for quite a long time.
edit: also worth mentioning that I have a car jumper that I got at Costco that is essentially a second car battery and has a USB charger, light, and air compressor built in.
