I don't like that. If I keep a cell phone in the glove box of my
truck, it expires, I have an emergency, then what? Do Tracfones
expire too?

If you get an unregistered CDMA phone, you can sign up with ARN for
$10/year.

Outgoing calls only. You don't get a phone number. From 25¢ to $1 per
minute.

Be aware that you must have a CDMA phone that is unregistered with any
carrier, not just deactivated. These can be hard to find. I've seen them
on eBay though.
