Children will demand them--no way around it. They'll be treated like Amish folks by their friends if they don't. But between parents... if you find you don't use your cell phone much, you're much better off going with a PAYG (Pay As You Go) kind of plan. There are a lot of choices out there for PAYG. Unfortunately one of the best is no longer availabe--Amp'd Mobile. It was reasonably cheap--$20 for every 3 months. $0.10 per minute and so you'd get 200 minutes for your $20. There might be others out there. Anyway, I see you went with Sprint. I'm presently with Verizon, but I'm seriously considering the switch! :-) Actually, I think it’s very important for at least one person in a family to have a cell phone.
