I made some changes to my phone services today.
I cancelled some extra calling features (voice mail and call waiting), keeping only call display. I was told that was $6.00 monthly in savings, putting my phone bill down to under $40. The answering machine I am going to buy today will pay for itself pretty quickly.
I also cancelled my long distance carrier (different company) and will opt to use a phone card that charges 3c a minute. I will also be purchasing a mic and webcam for the computer, so I may not even use a $10 long distance card each month.
When all is said and done, I expect to be paying between $40-$50 for the monthly phone instead of the usual $80-$100.
As with any savings, it's no good unless you APPLY it to something, so I have also increased my student loan payments to $600 from the current $500.
Whew!
Phone savings.
