| Is your cell phone plan giving
you all it can? If that answer is no and I am sure that 90% of the people
that read this will say that. Read on how you can get upgrades to your
service. Ask yourself these 3 questions
Question #1
Is your current calling plan up to snuff?
Answer: If you are constantly going over your allotted minutes every month
there is a good chance that if you upgrade the amount of minutes that you
use to the right amount the bill will be cheaper as the cost over minute
rate is extremely higher than what the plan would be in the first place.
I know Verizon has something that is called price plan analysis that they
can check your usage patterns to make sure you are not over spending on your
calling needs. The major cell phone companies want you to be a happy
customer, they know that you will take your business elsewhere if you are
not happy. It is cheaper for them to keep you as a customer than it would be
to recruit new customers.
I am sure all the cell phone companies have this service or something
similar so give yours a call. If you have Verizon the phone number is
1-800-711-7017 while you have them on the phone ask them if you are ready
for a free phone upgrade. If they tell you that you will be in a few months
tell them you may be switching companies when your contract runs out. They
usually will work with you.
Question #2
Do I need all these features?
If you are spending a lot of money on things you never use like text
messaging and picture services then why keep them. My unlimited
text messaging was costing me $5.99 a month. Since I never use text
messaging why would I pay almost $72 a year for this. Ok so you get a couple
of text messages guess what they only cost about 5 cents each so if you get
50 a year that is $2.50 cents much better than $72 isn't it.
Same goes with the ringtone sites that charge you monthly. Or a fee to
surf the internet.
Question #3
Do I need all these bells and whistles on my cell phone?
This kind of harps on the two questions above but you really need to ask
yourself this. If you can knock $10 off your bill a month you can buy
yourself something that you really need with that $120 a year. That is not
chump change. |
