I finally got one a few months ago. Its a prepaid one with no contracts. It was handy to have on vacation. I leave it off most of the time - but it is a secure feeling to have it in case there was an emergency. I've only given the number to a few people, and since I haven't taken the time to figure out how to access my voicemail - I don't get bothered.

Cell phones are becoming so popular that its becoming harder and harder to find pay phones anymore.
