Cell phone bill question

[bookishwench]

My cell phone basically functions as, shockingly, a phone. It doesn't connect to the Internet, it doesn't open or send email, it doesn't do text messaging, it doesn't have music, and while it does have a camera, the pictures it takes are basically blurs. Usually, this doesn't bother me, but I'm beginning to realize there may be some safety issues involved in my rather Amish phone. For example, if the campus is closed during the day due to weather issues, the info is sent out via text message (though eventually the classroom phones also display it). Hence, I'm vaguely considering an upgrade, but I admit to being completely clueless as to what "normal" people pay for a cell phone bill. Currently, I'm at about $34. What would be typical?

Thanks!

If you live in an urban area, I really like T-Mobile. I don't get great reception in the 'burbs, necessarily, but I have no complaints about it when I'm in civilization.

Relevant edit: I hardly talk, mostly text, and data all over the place. I get 100 minutes of talk and unlimited everything else, although, I don't know that they offer my plan any more (or maybe only at Walmart?)

Thank you. I'm mostly in the burbs, and weirdly there isn't a Walmart anywhere around here... which I'm kind of happy about.
