Really? Here in the UK you can get a cellphone on a
pay-as-you-go basis. As long as you're in credit, you can
receive incoming calls, SMSs, whatever (remember in
the UK you don't pay for incoming calls either).

Some schemes say you have to top up every x months, so
you might have to stick a fiver (£5) on every 3 months.
Then maybe make £4.90 worth of calls to get your value
for money from it! :-)

A pager's monthly fee would be much cheaper than a cell phone.
