Walk into any Walmart and buy a TracFone. It's about as trivial as can be. This is what I used to do back when I was poor and couldn't afford a cell phone plan. It was pre-smartphone, but I see data included on the prepaid "minutes" now. Before cell phones I used to buy minutes on calling cards[1] at Walmart in order to call long distance.
