T-MOBILE... NOBODY ELSE COMES CLOSE
I held off from getting a cellphone for years. Everbody in this world wants a piece of you. Give us your money, give us your money!
I finally got one last May. T-Mobile works like this: I bought the phone, $100. Then you have to get onto their "pre-paid rewards plan," which was another $100, which purchases 1000 minutes for me. The 1000 minutes do not expire for an ENTIRE YEAR. At the end of the year, I can either buy another 1000 mins for $100, or 500 mins for $50, or I believe 30 mins for $10. All those minutes are good for an entire year.
Bottom line: $200 investment gets you a cell with 1000 minutes for a year. For the 2nd year you'll pay either $50 or $100, depending.
Theoretically, you can have a cell for $10 annually. But I'll probably go for the $50 in 2nd year, depending on how much I use it in the first year. That is a price I can say yes to... not like these asinine plans where you pay through the nose every month. I'm keeping my landline, of course.

Virgin Mobile is a good option, you buy a phone and then use either a plan starting at 29.99 a month or you can go by the minute for 18 cents per minute.
Cingular Go Phone is also good, and coverage is better but the prices are higher. They have plans starting at 29.99 a month or 25 cents per minute
Verizon has the lowest per minute rate at 10 cents, but they also have a 99 cent per day access fee. However, they do give you unlimited night minutes.
Best for last. America's largest network. Alltel has 10 cents a minute and a 75 cent daily access fee. But, you can pick from unlimited text messaging, unlimited mobile to mobile or other cool features for .25 a day each.
have fun picking

The answer to this question is best achieved by running a search on Yahoo or Google. Take the appropriate key words (with extras like "in", "and", "to", etc) and enter them into the search field. My experience has been that you'll usually get exactly what you're looking for in the first 1-3 pages of your search.
