I've recently gotten spam text messages on my pre-paid T-Mobile account, which
cost me a nickel each. Outrageous.  I phoned tech support.  The first guy was
barely able to speak English and hung up on me after 4 minutes.  The second guy
was OK and set my account up so that I would NOT receive marketing messages.

What a crappy system.  You're assumed to WANT to pay for spam unless you call
and tell them different.

I shouldn't complain, though.  It costs me $10/year now and I'll probably never
use up my minutes.  Still...

You need only three tools: WD-40, duct tape and a hammer. If it doesn't
move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.
If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem.

What plan do you have that is $10 a year?

Cheap prepaid.  Once you've bought $100 worth of minutes, from then on they all
roll over as long as you buy $10 worth (maybe 30 minutes or so) each year.
I've got 800 minutes now, and I don't make more than 4 calls a month ("Hi,
there's traffic, I'll be a little late."), rarely that. On a per-minute basis
it's not particularly cheap, but on a per-year basis you can't find anything
better.
