I've been carrying aroud a prepaid cellphone for a couple years now. It 
might not be the cheapest, but I don't use it often enough for it to 
matter. I have to put at least $20 on it every 90 days, and calls are 
25c per minute for the first ten minutes of the day (5am-5am) and then 
10c per minute after that.

Since I don't use it often, I'm essentially paying about $7.00 per month 
most months.
