Lower Your Phone Service Costs

 March, 28 2008

Cutting telephone service costs is one of the easiest ways to get your household budget leaner. Here's a few tips on some new ways to lower home or cell phone service costs.   

1. Select the right Telephone Carrier

If you are not a broadband phone user, select the lowest cost local and long distance company, or combination of the two Bundled Phone Service. Don't settle for the same old carries prices. Since deregulation, hundreds of competing phone companies are offering much lower rates, find the lowest in your geographical area.

2. Go High Tech! (VoIP - Internet Phone Service)

If you have high speed internet service, DSL or Cable. Any internet provider except dial up. VoIP phone service has come of age. You can get unlimited local and long distance calling for as little as $19.95 per month, no gimmicks , no local taxes or universal line charges. Small business starts at $39.95 per month.

3. Dump the Telephone directory fees & charges

Using directory assistance can cost 40 cents to about $2.40 each time you use it. A new service, 1-800-FREE411, will give you free lookup and let you talk for several minutes at its expense. The catch is you might have to listen to a 10-second advertisement. Keep at phone book where you use your phone the most.

4. Cut the Cord on the landline, go Cellular!

A recent study showed the instances of a cell phone call not going through on the first try fell by 50 percent since last year. Canceling your landline phone and going cellular is a better option than ever, but make sure it fits your calling habits and you have good local reception.  

 


If you eliminate your land line, be sure to program your local police department's emergency phone number (not 911, the direct line) into your cell phone.

Dialing 911 from a cell phone automatically goes to CHP where you will likely be put on hold; once your call is answered, you will have to give your location and the call will be transferred to your local police or fire department. This creates a lot of delay--something you want to avoid if you need emergency services.

More Young Americans Live in Households with No Landline

In a first for any age group, more than 50% of Americans age 25-29 live in households with mobile phones but no landline telephones. (Local Phone Providers)

A U.S. survey shows Americans are abandoning their landlines and adopting cell phones. A report on phone use by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also found that the younger children are, the likelier they are to live in homes that only have wireless phones and no landlines, That suggests that younger parents are relying more only on cell phones.

The figures released provide the latest evidence of how young people are leading the evolution away from landline phones.
