I run Virgin Mobile. ~$6/mo 25cents a minute. If I need to make a phone call on the road, the sky is falling. If I get a call on it, it had better be in time for me to avoid the meteor hitting the road I'm on. Voicemail and text messages are disabled on my phone. I've gotten exactly one call from work that had to be dealt with immediately in 3 yrs. Critical. Disabling critical. This has worked well for me. I deal with a business with a night service where there is no phone. I have to have a phone for emergencies. NC (Business of the night)
