My kids stopped using them, and I generally don't carry one except on trips. I keep adding minutes when I go on trips and then letting the phone expire when I'm not traveling.
Oh, one thing I learned from my boss. If he took his cell phone down into our lab, it would kill the battery in ONE HOUR. Our lab is mostly below ground, and full of computers and electrical equipment that may interfere with the cell reception. So, the phone turned up the transmit power trying to stay in contact with the cell tower.
