Does your monthly cell phone bill send you into shock? It doesn't have to. Here are fourteen ways to save money on your cell phone bill.
Pick a Plan with Rollover Minutes
If you've determined that a minute-based plan is best for you, choose one that allows you to rollover unused minutes from month to month. After all, you've paid for those minutes, so you should get to keep them.Only Use Your Phone for Emergencies
Did you know that you can use a cell phone to dial 9-1-1, even when it's not connected to a service plan? It's true. Just make sure cellular 9-1-1 service is available in your area, and you can keep a cell phone on hand for emergencies without having to foot a monthly bill.
Rely on Your Landline More
Local calls on a landline? Free. Local calls on a cell phone? Not so free. Try to make more of your local calls from your home phone, and you'll spend less for your phone time.
Ask for a Better Deal
One thing you can be sure of: Your service provider doesn't want to lose you to the competition. So, ask for a better deal, and you'll probably get it.
