Think of it this way: everyone on the highway got along just fine for years
before cell phones were invented. Funny how people's idea of what's
"necessary" changes with the times. I had a co-worker try to convince me
that he had no choice but to buy a minivan because both of his kids each
require an entire bench seat while driving. My mom had a 2-door Mercury and
my brother and I were just fine in the back seat.
I say, if the only reason you have a cell phone is for emergencies, ditch
it. That, or cancel your service where you pay per month, keep the phone
and get it activated on a "pay in advance" type plan. I think those are
more per minute, but if you don't use them you don't have to pay the monthly
service fee.
Just a thought.
