Dude, I just got a $25 smartphone off EBay. It's like 3 years old but it does all kinds of shit. For $10 more you can get a 16 GB SD card and store all kinds of music, movies, and other videos (yeah, porn). But the coolest thing is this: You can get this free app called Text Plus, where you get free minutes to call just for downloading stupid games which you can later delete, or watching videos, or doing surveys. Anyways, the point I'm getting at is, I never paid for service on this phone.... no carrier at all. I can only make calls on it if I'm around wi-fi, but if you're in a town, you can hit up a library or a McDonald's or Starbucks, or anywhere else with free wi-fi, and get and receive calls for FREE. It'll work on any android phone, and there's probably similar apps on other phones. If you go to 4shared you can get the Text Plus Gold version, which doesn't have ads. In fact you can get pretty much any app on there for free. Fuck paying for shit. Hope this helps.
