Searched and found like, 8 cell phone threads, none of them on this sort of topic though.
So, cell phones. Never had one, just got a job, and i'm tired of having to ask to borrow one of my parents' when I go somewhere, so I'm thinking of buying one of my own.
How much can I expect to pay for phone/service? Im looking just for a phone. I have a mp3 player, and a DS, I need neither music nor games on said phone. If its a brick with cellular service, im just peachy with that. I also dont talk on the phone alot either, so how much can I expect to spend on minutes and whatnot, or whatever the form of time spent talking is. Basically, I need me some cell phones 101.

Other things other people will need is where are you (as I understand some american companies do some places well other companies will not)
Do you want a camera in it? I actually have a "good" camera in it 3.2 and I find it usefull because of it.
Do you want a speaker phone? I find it a usefull feature while driving.
Satans..... hints.....
As far as camera/speakerphone, would depend on the price. Wouldnt want a camera in it unless it was of decent quality. Not pullitzer prize winning or anything, but something that could be printed out and put into a photo album, not some grainy miscolored thumbnail. And even then, not too expensive.
Same with speakerphone. Extra 20-30 bucks, cool. 80 for a speakerphone though? Nah.
That said, a basic phone plan should run you no more than $45 after taxes, fees, etc. That's actually probably a bit on the high side too, if you don't need any add-ons.
For reference, I carry a Cingular phone and a US Cellular phone. The USCell is my work phone. I've had good luck with both, but I prefer my Cingular because of services and a better phone selection (GSM). I'm pretty happy with both carriers, so I'd recommend either.
I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
