Some saving tips on phone bills:

• Use radio or the Internet to find current weather condition time instead of using your phone.

• Avoid problems and save time from bad customer service; check with the Better Business Bureau, relatives, and friend about the reputation of a phone
  company you plan to register with.

• Use your phone book to find information instead of calling 411.

• Use your phone during hours or days when the rates are low such
  as evenings, weekends, and holidays.

• Pay your phone bills on time to avoid delinquent, late charge.
  If you're late, make payment before your phone is disconnected,
  or you'll have to pay re-installation fee.

• Avoid short-term discounts that last for only a few months or
  weeks from phones companies. They may raise phone rates higher
  than you expect after the discounted period.

• Ask your phone company for a better, affordable plan. If not,
  check and register with other phones companies.

• Review your current plan features. Remove all unused services.

• Many phone companies give you low rates, but they'll raise on
  other services such as calling cards, just like the credit
  card providers raise your late payment fee. So, read the fine
  print of your phone plan carefully.

• Cancel a phone line you rarely use. For example, if you a cell
  phone, a home phone, a phone line for the Internet, you may
  cancel a home phone that you seldom use.

• Use your home phone to access your voice mail messages instead
  of using your cell phone.

• If you lose your cell phone, cancel it in the same day as soon as
  possible to avoid paying for any calls you don't make.
