Zero dollars.
I don't pay to stay connected, nor does my work. I just am connected by good measures of generosity on the part of others, and then by great lengths of ingenious free fetching, on my part.
One other thing: if I wanted my cell service again, I'd only need to pay a one-time fee of $100 (for the year) to reinstate my account, and then any additional minutes (compounded unto the bundled 1,000) can be bought at a fee of $20 per every 500 minutes I'd want.
Taking 2007 into account, though, (my last year of full subscription) that one year I only spent about $80 (+tax) for my cellphone, and I was never devoid of any available minutes or service.
