The Trick To Saving On A Cell Phone Bill

By Aimee Jones

When I was a kid, I didn't think about things like my parent's phone bill. In fact, I didn't much care at all about such things. I just wanted to play and have fun all day long. However, I do remember when the phone bill would be too high and my father would get upset.

At the time I feel my parents would spend perhaps $30 or $50 per month on their cell phone service. They had to pay extra for lengthy distance calling and other additional services like that. It was very ridiculous how considerably the cell phone corporations were able to charge for so little service that they provided.

Now, fast forward to the year 2010. We now live in a world where the same companies are charging even more for phone service. It's crazy. Instead of $30 per month total, it's $60 per month per person. How is that fair?

The average American family now spends somewhere between $70-120 per month on phone service. Think about that number for a minute. That's nearly 4 times as much for phone service. That doesn't make sense at all.

The biggest reason that cell phone service has become so expensive is that individuals are now purchasing cell phones rather than landlines. Certain, landlines aren't genuinely the most convenient form of cellular phone service, but they do work reliably and cheaply. The difficulty is that cell phone companies want to charge exhorbant rates for services they've offered for years.

The real culprit is that men and women continually want the next large thing and that basic cell phone service just isn't good adequate anymore for individuals. Nobody actually needs unlimited telephone service, but they want it just mainly because. Nobody desires to text everywhere, but they do it anyway.

If you want the secret to saving dollars in your mobile phone bill, it's merely this - switch back to a landline or maybe go with a prepaid cell phone service. Use a crappy, outdated mobile phone and be happy that it works. Also, be happy when you save $60 per month. That's enough every year to buy a new HDTV.
