You can only deduct Cell phone expenses if it is required for you to carry.
I do not take business expenses, plus it is not required for me to
have one for my job. Others might deduct it, but I don't play games
with my taxes and the IRS.

You didn't say that this was for business. The cost of your phone is
a deductible expense, so does the extra $30-40 matter? Sprint,
Alltel and Nextel's unlimited talk is $99, Verizon's is $119.
T-Mobile's unlimited talk plans start at $50. Boost PAYGO unlimited
is $50. Even Net10 has unlimited talk for $80. Do you have to use an
iPhone or is another smart or not so smart phone acceptable?
I have an iPod Touch and a Nokia phone. They have different purposes
and give me more features than the iPhone alone [but my son
vehemently disagrees]; and it will be much better when I get a Nokia
smart phone. Consider your needs before you choose your devices.
Gotta have an iPhone? Get a Touch and a basic or not so basic phone.
My new phone will be like this,
