[OT] Lowcost cellphone plans

[Walter Dnes]

  I'm somewhat of a luddite with respect to cellphones, but even I admit
that there are occasions when they come in handy.  I don't expect to use
it that often.  I'm looking for POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), so
I'm willing to do without tons of "features".

  In *MY* case, the best plans are the low monthly fee with a high
air-minute fee model.  The Virgin Mobile "Minute 2 Minute" plan as
described at...
http://www.virginmobile.ca/site/en/pricesAndFeatures/html/pricesAndFeatures.html
best suits my needs, of the ones I've Googled so far.  Is there a web
site somewhere that compares plans?  Any better plans anywhere?

  At the risk of drifting onto topic for this list, are there any
cellphones *WITHOUT* an OS?  I don't care whether it's Palm or Symbian
or Windows or Linux, any OS will present some vulnerabilities.
