Pay Less for Your Wireless Bills; Free TV Video Phones On The Go

Funny how our wireless bills seem to be getting more expensive but we just can’t give it up. Cable or satellite TV seem easier to drop since you can rent DVDs or read a book. But while we seem to be able to cut back on everything, our cell phones just seem to be more indispensable as ever.

While our economy may be down, our kids still need to go to school, we still need to go to the grocery, go to work, and we need to talk to the people who we cannot be with us as we live our individual lives. We still need to be connected to each other somehow. But you do not have to bear the brunt of wireless phone bills because here are ways to save and yet remain connected to your family and friends:

Bundle up. Try to get services offered as a bundle for just about $100 a month. Instead of paying for separate cable or satellite TV, Internet and long distance phone service, save a lot of money as well as time by paying for a single bill for all. Some carriers even offer more discounts and offer top free cell phones and free mobile Web phones with their bundle offers.

Chat online. Instead of calling long distance or overseas, try chatting with your loved ones through voice calls online. Skype, Google Voice and Yahoo Messenger Voice Calls offer this service for free when calling from the same service, for example, Skype to Skype. Turn on the web cam and you can even see who you’re talking to. For just about $3 a month, you can call a landline number through Skype. Now that’s major savings from the $15 to $25 you pay for a landline.

Pre-pay your cell phone. If the only people you ever really need to call are your parents in the next state or if you’re the person who’s not too chatty on the phone, you might want to switch to a prepaid line. Instead of paying $60 for services you rarely use, then get a prepaid line where you pay only for the minutes you actually use. Some prepaid plans charge anywhere between 10 to 60 cents per minute.

Go wireless all the way. If everybody in your household owns a cell phone, you might as well drop the landline and save anywhere from $20 to $50. Check out freecellphonechoices.com for free T-mobile phones.

Get a calling card. If you have a room mate who keeps making calls that she refuses to pay, then get yourself a calling card and pay only for the calls you personally make. Verizon offers a calling card for about $20 which includes 700 plus minutes of calling time. That’s less than a cent per minute!

Cut the extras. Want to save anywhere from $5 to $50? Then try cutting either caller ID, voice mail or call waiting or try doing away with all of them. Try cutting Internet on your cell phone and get bigger savings.
But if you really can’t live without them, try switching to Vonage, a low-cost Internet phone service. It has voice-mail, caller ID and call waiting and costs only $25 per month for free unlimited local and long-distance calls.
Haggle your way to bigger savings. Companies negotiate for discounts or ask carriers to bid for contracts for the company’s telecom needs. Because of the tough competition among carriers, each will offer the best services at the best values for money. You can use the same tactic by comparing prices and services of carriers. You can also try negotiating with your current carrier for discounts, pointing out offers of other companies, and see if they would try to top the other carrier’s offer with a better one.
