Any cell phone I've ever heard of can always call 911 even if it's
not paid, registered or whatever. If you keep it in the car, better
have a charger that plugs into the cig lighter. Actually my brother
just told me there is a cheap low wattage $10 inverter so you can
use the free 120VAC charger in the car and never buy another special
car charger again.
That's an odd way to save the $3-5 cost of a car charger.

Hey I could use a $3-5 car charger for my cell. Where's the best place
to buy one?
Goodwill or Salvation Army. Seriously. They usually have a basket on the
shelf of various chargers and cords.
That is where I got my current one, after I accidentally donated my old
one along with a box of orphan phones to one of those 'cell phones for
at-risk people' programs. Boy was I ****ed when I tried to plug up the
incorrect charger I held on to, and found the plug was the wrong
diameter. Garage sales are another good source- I haven't been at a sale
in years that didn't have at least one baggie of cell phones and cords.

Side rant- why don't they standardize chargers?

Believe it or not, the manufacturers have actually gotten together
to set a standard for chargers before the government does it for
them, that is everyone except Apple. It looks like it will be the
micro USB. It's something that needed to be done years ago.
