I got my wife a Tracfone flip phone. It is pay as you go and we pay about $24 for 3 months of service & 120 minutes plus texts - it sits in her purse and she uses it about 5 times a month but she has it if she is out and needs to reach me. She has thousands of minutes saved because she makes so few calls.

For $8 a month it may be worth having even if you never use it. A cell phone can come in handy if your landline goes down (especially if you need 9-1-1).
