So I called our cell phone company last week and threatened to leave them. I had absolutely no desire to leave them, but just wanted to toss that out there and see what they would say. They immediatly transferred me to their customer loyalty department who started going through our plan and additional services with a fine tooth comb. It became tricky because I have the bill so skimmed already that there really was no where else to cut corners, but lo and behold they found a way! We each have $30.00 data plans on our phones and I was able to get those whiddled down to $20 for life. Pretty awesome, considering everything else they have have already cut for me!
So okay, I know it's only a $20 savings per month, but it's enough to pay the life insurance preiums for the kids every month AND have enough left over for a cup of coffee!
Lesson to be learned: Even if you think there is nothing that can be done, still try. You just never know!
Our cell phone bill is still crazy if you ask me, but considering that we have 5 lines, an unpublished 1800 minute plan at a great rate, unlimited texting on all lines and 2 unlimited internet plans all for $160 a month when all of that SHOULD be $210, then I guess I feel pretty good!
