Cell phone plans can get expensive…plain and simple. The trick is to know how much you actually use and pay for only what you need. Many people sign up for unlimited plans, and only really call about 400 minutes per month. You can save boatloads of cash by simply picking the right plan for your needs.
Next, it is essential that you tell AT&T or your wireless carrier that you have a job. Almost every employer qualifies for a 20% discount from the wireless companies. By having a job, they know you are more likely able to afford your cell phone bill each month.
Here is how to get the cheapest iPhone plan. It may not fit your needs, but you can get a sense of the costs from here:
Plan: Nationwide 450 Minutes w/Rollover – $39.99
Option: Dataplus 200MB for iPhone – $15.00
Subtotal – $54.99
Discount – $11.00
Total – $43.99
That is not a bad deal. You may also want to look at getting a text messaging plan. You can get a 200 message plan for about $5. Not a bad investment considering they usually charge about $0.20 per text without a plan! That can add up fast!
