The Top Five Ways to Lower Your Cellphone Bill!

1. Choose the right plan
Either upgrade or downgrade your service depending on how many minutes you actually use. Look into a family plan even if you don't have a family. Also check out pay as you go plans for those who rarely use your cell or adding unlimited options for data and texting.

2. Make appointments for long calls-like for friends and family
Basically try to set these calls for when minutes are free, mostly after 7. It's surprising how fast an afternoon chat can rack up the charges.

3. Avoid using 411 for info
Using this can cost anywhere from $.50 to $1.50. Try free services instead like 800-FREE-411, 800-411-METRO or 800-GOOG-411

4. Ditch the extras
Some extras sometimes come with hidden fees like three way calling. Try getting your provider to drop those unnecessary features. Others like data plans can be costly if it's not really useful. Also using data minutes for downloads can add up.

5. Cut down on texting
Unless you have an unlimited plan (which can also be pricey) you can be charged per text, that adds up quick if you text frequently!
