Every 90 days I'd have to put in $20 to keep it active, which meant that I had a cellphone good for about 30 minutes per month at a cost of $7/month. Actual cost of calls = 25 cents per minute for the first 10 minutes each day, only 10 cents per minute after that, which was nice when using far more minutes than usual... such as while calling for road service.
I bequeathed my "emergency cell phone" to my mom when I got a "real" cell phone (to serve as my only phone), but I liked the Virgin Mobile lack-of-plan for the year-and-a-half I used it.
