My current deal is better, but it is no longer available under the same terms... so something like that would be an option if I didn't have my current plan. Not a bad deal, Frank.

I use Straight Talk. It’s unlimited for $45 a month, prepaid (so no bills) and on Verizon’s network… the best. Unlimited talk and texts, plus 30MB of data, which is about 350 web pages. Fantastic deal. It's available at http://www.StraightTalk.com Prepaid is the only way to fly, with no bills or overages or other funky stuff.

I recently switched to a "prepaid plan" and I love it! Since I am a college student, using a prepaid cell phone relieves plenty of stress because I spend less money on cell phones and more money on the essentials. I only pay for this minutes I need, can text, and can even make long distance calls (without an extra charge) to my family back home. I would highly recommend switching to anyone who needs to cut their bills. Option # 5 is the best advice I can give. I recently switched to a “prepaid plan” and I love it!

It is a pre-paid service with no frills... but it is worth it. I pay $0.12/min, or $0.10/min night and weekends, plus a $0.10 daily access fee. The service is fantastic, and it can be supplemented with data/text options. I text for $0.05 each. I use around 120 min/month, with about 250 messages in and out, and I pay around $22/month... and NO TAX. This is definetly something to consider.

I am now using YapOn for all my long distance calling. I use it on my cellular as well as my landline. Not only is it a reliable, high quality phone service, it is really easy to use and saving me a LOT on money! I can even call my friends and relatives who are overseas with my cell phone for pennies. There are no connection fees, hidden OR monthly fees, I get everything I pay for! And without having to change my cell phone provider or rate plan!

Go figure. They've got unlimited texting for a fairly low price. So I'm happy. One trend I’ve noticed with my teenagers is they prefer texting to talking live on the phone. Go figure.

I had to call Sprint once because I got charged a roaming fee <i>in my own city</i>! I was pretty unhappy that that happened, but the CSR reversed the charge immediately with no hassles. That's been my best and worst experience with Sprint :) I have Sprint and get a discount through my employer, which I love.

Also talk to your company or boss and try to see if any wireless services offer any deals to your company employees. I got in on a deal that saves me around 20$ a month compared to the same features off a non employment plan. Oh, don't lose your cellphone. It's extremely expensive to replace unless you buy a second hand one and usually thats a huge downgrade from the phone you had. Even the free phones start at 100$ without a plan. But this is a great series of tips mate, well done with this list. All in all, cut down on those extra features that you do not need at all.

I never come close to using all my minutes, but this may be a helpful plan for others! :) @ No Debt Plan, I love the SERO plan so far. After taxes and fees, I pay about $35. This includes the unlimited data plan (which I love!), unlimited texts, nights & weekends, and mobile to mobile minutes, 500 anytime minutes, and good coverage in my local area. I had Verizon before Sprint, and I loved their coverage and customer service, but the Sprint plan was just too good to pass up. I think Sprint does have awful customer service, but I was willing to deal with that to get the plan I wanted. (I rarely call customer service for anything). Great tip for Ron, by the way. :) @ lulugal11, I haven't had a land line in about 8 years. I just haven't needed one. @ deepali, Thanks for sharing the link. That looks like a good source for kid's cell phones. @ Dividend Growth Investor, Thanks for the info on the Sprint plan.
