I'm a student and currently not working. I've exceed my balance limit on my phone (including past due). I've already paid $100 and still have about $100 to pay . My parents won't give me more money. I know my service will be suspended if I don't pay in the next 2 days. What should I do? Your suggestion and/or help would be appreciated.

Do what the rest of us did and find some time for a job.
That's a quick, easy and sort of condescending answer for a problem that isn't that easy to solve. I'm going to offer up some suggestions here for that reason.
When you're an undergrad student, always check with campus job resources first. If you get a job as a student aide on campus, your boss will be majorly flexible to his/her own detriment with class schedules and test schedules and understanding you need time off to study.
Barring campus employment, most places in a college town know exactly what it is to have a college student on staff, and you will be able to work pretty much the schedule you create for yourself, except in the case of another employee's emergency or whatever.
Don't be afraid to say "Do you want fries with that...?" Especially if you have encurred bills that need to be paid. Now is NOT the time to screw up your credit. You've got too long a time ahead of you to have to live with screwed up credit. If you're looking to screw up your credit on purpose, a delinquent cell phone bill is a wonderful place to start. I don't think you want to go down that path.
Who knows? Getting a job where you say "Do you want fries with that?" could lead to opportunities you never thought of in life. Whatever you do, take pride in it.

get rid of the cell phone! I've never had one and will never get one. Instead, I have a phone card that I can use at all payphones. I love it! No huge bills to pay!

If you can't afford to pay for it, get rid of it.
