Verizon's pay as you go plan more or less forces you to add more minutes 
every so often or they shut you down.   Minimum add on is like $25.  Still 
a little cheaper than the mega plans, but they still get you to ante up on 
a regular basis.  The bottom line is you can't sit on 40 minutes for 6 
months using the phone for emergencies only.

What a rip.
