I bought my first cellphone back in the early 1990s and had Cellular One and a $20 a month calling plan. It think that was 60 minutes a month and at that I didn't use it that much as it was an "emergency phone." Of course Cellular One became AT&T Wireless then Cingular and then again AT&T. Since I develop apps for Android I waited until Verizon started selling them and switched carriers. I could have bought a developer phone from Google but then they ran out and it wasn't supposed to work very well with AT&T.
