I would have a cell phone only for emergencies and what a horrible, steep price to pay to have a bit of peace of mind in the case of emergency.

I read Stephen King's Cell. No one would get a cell after reading that thriller! (He doesn't have a cell phone either. I suppose he scared himself). LOL

Prepaid still requires that you buy airtime, minutes, etc. every few months. Oh, I've looked at every cell phone provider, every plan prepaid and otherwise and they are all ripoffs. The hidden "gotchas" and everything else about cell phones is digusting. When HawTel stops having public phones then I will be forced to get a cell phone but until then unless I find a better plan than any of the myriad I have perused...well...no thank you. Besides the prepaid plans have really crappy phones that don't work decently. What good does it have to have one and then it doesn't work when you need it? Here, only Verizon is really good and they are the most expensive provider.

Then there is the battery thing. I hated cordless phones and having to charge them. I went back to a nice corded phone that never needs charging.

The benefits of having one IMO out weight the minor costs which come no where near a two year cell phone commitment.
