I got my first cell phone in March of this year. I've managed just fine without one, but I thought it would be nice to have one in case of emergency, if my car breaks, etc. I got a free T-Mobile To-Go prepaid phone for $88 with 1,100 anytime minutes, which don't expire for a year. I rarely use it to make calls, and I still have 984 minutes left after 4 months, so I am using about 30 minutes each month, and it's been working great for me. I can refill the phone with as little as $10, which will extend all unused minutes for another year to make sure they won't expire.
