Regional coverage
If you are not a big traveler you can get what is called
a regional calling plan. This cellular phone plan usually covers your calling area plus a few
neighboring states and is much cheaper than nationwide coverage. We are seeing more and more nationwide
calling plans
becoming the norm for most people that have used us to find their cell
phone.
You need to look at cellular phone calling plans that best
suite your needs. Some plans have lets say 100 hours a month with free
nights and weekends. This might cover the casual user but after the 100
hours are up the charges are 65 cents a minute and they add up quickly.
Odds are the first month that you own a cell phone you will go over your
minutes because you are calling all your friends and giving them your new
cellular phone number. It happens to us all as we want to show off our new
cell phone.
Some cellular phone calling plans have unlimited hours including nights
and weekends but this option is a little expensive to the average
user. Here is a great plan if unlimited nights is good for you!
Verizon wireless currently has a calling plan unlimited Night and
Weekend Minutes and 100 Bonus Anytime Minutes for $39.99.
Some cellular calling plans have what is called
roll-over minutes. This
is where the unused minutes roll over or carry over to the next month.
This is becoming the most popular plan lately for cellular phones.
Beware you have to read the fine print and see what the actual rate plan
is. Some cell phone companies that have this feature will charge you a
only small amount for the first 3 months the sock you with a higher rate.
You have to chose for yourself which one is the best
calling plan for you as everyone's cell phone habits will be different.
After a few months you might realize the nationwide unlimited cellular
phone calling plan is for you after
all.
If you are looking to upgrade your phone see what features you don't
need and take it from there. You can save money on
your cell phone bill. There are many items on your bill that you
may not be aware of. You can contact your cell phone provider and ask to
get rid of these services. When I bought my first cell phone it was on the
bill that I was paying $5 a month for text services. Since I didn't use
that I saved $60 a year on my cell phone bill once I cancelled it.
