most plans have free phone associated with them now ... didn't pay a 
dime for mine, also my plan isn't that much (don't recall) as I don't 
use the cell for primary communication. I'm in rural area and just have 
the phone in case I get stranded on some out of the way country road ... 
particularly a good idea to have a cell during winter.
