When purchasing a
cell phone, avoid contracts over a year. Rates change quickly and what
seems like a good plan at one time can quickly become dated.
Be aware
Some cell phone
companies charge you if you place a call, regardless of whether it is
answered or not. Others charge you if the call isn’t answered by the 6th
ring.
Which one?
When choosing a
phone remember that analog phones usually work everywhere, but have
lower quality and security. Digital phones work in most major cities and
add extra features, such as Internet access.
::Saving tips ::
Using your voicemail
Save money by
checking your voicemail from a regular landline phone.
Check your caller id
If an incoming call
seems to be a wrong number on the caller ID, let the voicemail pick up.
This way you can avoid charges for a call you don’t want.
