How to Save Dough With Prepaid Cell Phone Service

By Aimee Jones

Every year millions of dollars are wasted on cell phone service. You probably don't realize just how much money gets thrown out the window by people who are overpaying for their cell phone bill each and every month. There are literally millions of customers overpaying by $10 or $20 per month. It's ridiculous.

You might not think that overpaying for cell phone service is a big deal. However, what if I told you that this amounts to at least $100 or more per year per phone?

Imagine if you take that type of expense and multiply it times the millions of clients in the United States alone. That's possibly a total of literally a hundred million dollars a year, maybe even extra being wasted.

How is this amount of dollars becoming wasted by seemingly intelligent individuals? It's easy really. Individuals are being tricked into expensive contracts and plans that offer too significantly service than they require. For example, the minimum plan for most organizations is now 700 or 900 minutes. Most men and women don't use a lot more than 500 minutes or even 300 minutes.

That sort of additional expense is completely needless and yet folks spend it without a thought due to the fact they think that they need to, there is no other option for them.

For those persons I recommend prepaid cell phone service because it is a way that they can save income. You only pay for the quantity of service that you are using and that's it. Imagine if your phone service was metered like your gas and electric service.

You should not have to pay a whole bunch of extra money just to pad the profits of companies like Verizon and AT&T. Those are for-profit companies and they don't care if you are a happy customer, only that you are a paying customer.

Customers should not have to pay extra just because companies want them to. I remember when phone service was at least $10-20 cheaper per month and I was actually using my phone more then than I am now. Yet, I'm paying more now. How does that make sense?

I don't believe it makes sense to pay the added funds to the phone companies, do you? Here's what you can do. You can try to use a prepaid telephone company like Boost Mobile or Straight Talk or Tracphone or or even T-Mobile. At least going with those organizations gives you a way out of your contract.

The biggest expense in a cell phone agreement is really the early termination fee or ETF for short. People get stuck with them and they never should exist in the first place. It's a scam.

Long story short, you can save money with prepaid phone service simply by paying for the minutes that you use and nothing more. It's not a hard concept to grasp. If you only talk 100 minutes a month, why pay for more? It just doesn't make sense.
