| Want to save money with your cell phone? Well there are few things you can do. For one, don't run over your minutes. Stop yapping so much on your cell. Don't use your cell phone when you are close to a landline. If you are at home or work, use the landline. If you are few minutes from home, wait until you get home to use your home phone. Simple uh, but most people run over their minutes every month making the cell phone companies millions of dollars! If you are unsure how minutes you are using during the month you can check it online or on your cell phone itself. For Sprint its *2. But remember, when you check it may not include time for roaming off the network or data usage. Many people will purchase more minutes by changing their plan which sometimes involve a contract extension. This is the wrong move, unless it's absolutely necessary. Remember the goal here is the save money! A way to minimize your cell phone minutes is to use special caller deals where if you call a certain person you will not be charged any minutes. Verizon and AT&T don't charge for calls to other customers with the same service. |  |
With Sprint for $5 per month you can call other Sprint users without being charged for the minutes. Alltel's MyCircle plans provides free calling to ten designated landline or cell phone numbers from any carrier. T-Mobile's myFaves does the same for five designated numbers.
Your kid’s cell phone usage is getting out of hand and costing you money? Then consider using AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless. For $5 per month Smart Limits allow parents to control the numbers their child can call, text or IM to, and limit the when and how long for each of those activities. Easiest of all, it can all be controlled on the Web.
If you are looking for a new cell phone provider, then shop around for the right plan for you. If you are text messaging addict then do not sign up for a plan that will charge you $0.15 per text message. Sign up for a service that will give you a lot or unlimited text messaging. Rates can vary widely from plan to plan, so take some time and shop around to compare prices.
Another technique to save money with your cell phone is to consider a pre-paid cell phone. If you are one of the few people that are not addicted to your cell phone by not using too many minutes, then this may work for you. Especially, if you have a lot of minutes left over at the end of the month. With a pre-paid cell phone, you pay by the minute and don't have to worry about losing your minutes if not used. Additionally, you don't have to enter into any contract. Pre-paid cell phones are very inexpensive and pre-paid cards are widely available. As with other cellular phones, you have to shop around for the best deals.
