I own one of these burner phones for backup use, $9.99 but it was on sale for $4.99 when I bought it.

It's no iPhone, but I also get 8-10 days on a charge:

Tracfones are subsidized though, they give them away for almost nothing because people buy minutes for them, and they're almost useless without minutes unless you just want it to call 911.
