T-Mobile prepaid costs me about $50 to $60 per year.

I went with tmobile prepaid because after you put your first $100 in
minutes
on it any unused minutes are good for a year and roll over with any refill
before expiration.

I only carry one because you can't find a payphone any more. I don't give
my
number to anyone and make calls infrequently.

The minutes aren't the cheapest but for emergency usage the long
expiration
works out to the best value.
I can spend $10 a year to keep it active.

How do you do it for $10/year? I'm on the $100 for a thousand minutes
plan and was under the impression the minutes expire in a year and you
have to buy another thousand minutes at that point.

With T-mobile "to go", once you reach the "Golden Rewards" club (after your
first hundred is on) any minutes added, are good for a year.
At least on mine. I actually put more than ten bucks on mine because I use
it, but my dad's which never used except for emergencies just gets one $10
card a year.

Try buying a ten buck refill and see if the expiration date is a year from
now.
