I don't use my cell phone often. Mostly just to tell time (ha!). So I got a pay-as-you go from Virgin. Back when it started, there were no minimums--once you bought the phone, top-up when you need to. Then they implemented a policy that your balance expires after 4 months with no "top-ups". A minimum top-up was $15. So essentially, you could get by paying $15/4 months.

They changed all that around now. But searching their site, if you top up $100 in your account, it lasts 365 days.

I rarely call anyone, but when I do, the $0.30 a minute really adds up. I just have to remind myself that overall I pay only about $15.00/month total and get all the features for free (voicemail, call display, 911, receiving text messages).
