Save money on your cell and land-line phone bills

Many people are doing this these days. My wife and I were paying about $60 a month for 2 cell phones. We didn’t roam too far from our corner of the world and we really didn’t use them that often. But we had the lowest rate. So we went to pre-paid or pay as you go.

After a $50 one-time fee to activate each phone, we now pay just $6 per phone per month, plus usage. At $0.15 per minute we end up spending about $30-$40 a month on our bill.

Next up we’re going to dig our land-line. We’re thinking of moving that $60/month bill to yet another cell phone — that will be our “home” phone. If it works out then we’ll send up saving about $60/month on both bills. Might get that on Verizon so I can talk for free with my bro in NOLA.
