I use my phone a lot, where i am in university a cell phone is a lot cheaper then a house phone. a cell phone for me is crucial.

I rarely used my cellphone, although I always carry it for emergencies. In fact, since 2000 I have been on pay-as-you-go so you can imagine my phone is not the latest model!!! I am a cheap bastard.

Are you crazy? My brother is on a $35/month plan but the most he pays is $75 even if he makes $300 worth of calls. Its with Optus and he is using a Motorola V3 - surely you can find a similar plan to avoid paying that much money every month.

I bought mine in September, and so far it has been going pretty good. It is a LG5450 Tri-mode PCS Camera Phone and my Provider is Telus. I bought it since I had no land line when I came back up to London in september, and since I didnt really have any money either, I bought into that 3 yr contract. I dont mind so much now, its pretty reasonable, but I really have to limit my usage to the times they allow you, otherwise it can get very $$$$!
