I have a 'pre-paid' phone with Boost Mobile. I only use it when I'm traveling, never carry it around home. It only costs me $20 every 3 months & as long as I remember to add the $$ before the 3 months is up, it rolls over the minutes. The phone itself is a Motorola & seems to be pretty much bullet proof. No fancy ringtones, no photos, etc, but does what I need it to. :wink:
