Cingular is presently advertising a plan that costs 10c per minute of
use plus $1/day of any use. I don't know what the phone will cost or
added fees. For very occassional users this might work out better
than a contract.

Note that some providers do offer cheaper plans (ie $20/month) but
don't push them and you must ask firmly about them.

Radio Shack had some phones for sale that came with a pay-as-you
go plan.
