Monitor Your Cell Phone Bill For Things You Don't Use
There is quite a few things that you should look for on your monthly cell
phone bill. Odds are your bill or future bill will have a bunch of add ons
that you did not expect. The first time you get a bill it will have an
activation charge that could be anywhere from $20 to $35.
Among the other numerous charges will also have a ton of fees and taxes
that are from the government and your local state and sometimes even
a local city 911 charge. These fees you can not do anything about but there
are some that you can cancel if you don't need the service. Insurance
on the cell phone is one that if you have a cheap cell phone and you don't
care about it getting damaged or lost you can get rid of that one. If the
cell phone is one that you only use in an emergency and it just sits in the
car glove compartment there is no sense in paying around $5 a month if the
phone is only worth $20 if it is lost.
Unlimited text messages - For me this is the biggest waste of
money as I don't use text messages. If you are like me then there is no
reason to be paying $3- $5 a month for this. Just more waste of money.
Ringtones - Some services charge a lot of money for monthly unlimited
ringtones. I have seen it up to $39 for this. Do you really need the latest
ringtones on your phone every month? I didn't think so. See our page on
free ringtones. Games - The
same thing applies to games that applies to ringtones. The game sites are a
little cheaper they are usually $5 a month.
Screen Savers - Just like pictures on your cell phones this
service is not needed every month, it could be used on a picture by picture
basis. If you take a lot of pictures this service may pay for itself but to
the average user it is a waste of money. |
