you need a new one for you probably

it will be at least $30-40/mo without data

there are also prepaid plans

really your options depends on the carrier.

you plug it into the phone jack and make phone calls

or this, if you are really poor. it's called VoIP

- the carrier is likely branded on the phone common carriers are Verizon, AT&T, Sprint(???), T-Mobile
- no you can't hop on your friend's plan
- no
- you could use a payasyougo card with any phone but only if the card works with that phone.
