I was out and about the other day and really noticed how many people were walking down the street texting or playing with their cell phones. I have a basic type of corporate plan and pay about $25 a month and that is without any texting or internet. You really have to ask yourself, do you need that big cell phone bill every month? I am sure that if you are looking to save some money that you can get by without at least some of the features of your plan.
Check your services and see if there are any you aren't using. For instance, are you paying for conference calling and never using it? Are you paying for internet surfing and finding that you really aren't online that much each month. Review your services and see if you can cut back on features that aren't that important to you or aren't used.
Can you take advantage of a family or friends plan and save money? There are so many promotions out there that include some sort of group rates that it may be worth checking into. Like I said, I have a corporate plan and compared get a pretty good deal.
If you are a cell phone junkie maybe consider cancelling your home phone. There shouldn't be any reason to have both if you find that you are on your cell phone all the time. You can save a pile by cancelling your home phone if you don't use it. You don't need both.
Those are just a few things to think about. Review your plan and see if you can cut your phone costs.

I have a bachelor friend that is constantly complaining about the number of phone soliciters that call him. I suggested that he cancel his line and get a cell phone. When I think about it, my tip was also a good one to save him money. You can get cell phones with services pretty cheap these days. Cell phone companies are fighting for your business. When is the last time your phone company offered you a good deal when your term ended? Never. You have been paying the same amount of money since the day you signed up with them. It's something to think about, unless you are a 14 year old girl that is on the phone for six hours a night you really don't need a lan line. Shop around by looking at flyers, search online and even scour through ebay for a used phone and then find a package. I am sure you will find something that will offer you what you need for less than what you are paying now.
