man, I pay $100 a year with t-mobile prepaid plan. I get 1000 minutes. I only use my cell phone for emergencies and as needed. T-mobile has this weird thing where you can't stack your minutes over 1000 since your minutes roll over to the next year. so if I have like 600 minutes after one year is over, I just get a 25 tmobile prepaid card and it will renew my minutes for another year. I've been rolling like this for over 6 years. My wife is on a tmobile prepaid plan too. I don't know how alot of folks can afford these 110/month cell phone plans especially for husband and wife. I know for sure if I got one, my wife would demand one too~!
