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.

OOPS! Looks like it may only be for the EU and Apple seems to
have agreed to go along.
