Yes, plain ol cell phones do exist! (much to my husband's dismay, as he was hoping for something fancier)
We got a couple of phone's through Sprint, as emergency phones last year when I was in my third trimester of pregnancy. At that time, we also thought we were going to Korea, and would have to hand over the phone contract to our parents. Because of that, I insisted to just get the basic phones so my parents could also figure em out. Then it turned out we weren't going to Korea. *rolls eyes*
But yeah, most cell phone companies like Sprint will offer a free basic starter phone with the start-up of your plan. The fancier phones will cost more to buy in addition to the monthly plan. (PS... the 1 year/2 year plans also cost less per month in the long run over those pay-as-you-go phones)
Shop around various companies too before picking the one you like best.
