It seems as if our cell phone bills keep getting bigger and
bigger while our household budgets are manipulated to pay those bills. The Enterprises TV show explains why those bills keep getting bigger and how we can pare
them down.
If we take time to carefully review our cell phone bills, it
is clear that the taxes at every government level keep rising and the fees are
right behind them. Approximately 17% of
the bills are taxes and fees. And there seems to be a fee for almost
everything. There are activation fees which can go as high as $35.00. There are
fees for getting a new phone, extending a contract, early termination and
roaming. Data usage fees are also on the rise. Cell service carriers put a cap
on subscribers’ data usage and if they go over, the subscriber pays
astronomical fees. Plus, we are adding
more phones to our households and ditching the old-fashioned landlines. So, how
can the hard-working American pare down cell phone bills?
Enterprises TV suggests careful review of the bill every
month. Don’t just pay it automatically without looking at it. If there is a
service issue, call or email to carrier to credit the days service was out.
Carriers can and should credit the account on usage charges, but cannot legally
credit any government fees. Customers cal also renegotiate the terms of their
service from time to time. If adding another phone and line, work with the
carrier to find any discount. If the bills are still too high and too hard to
pay every month, consider a prepaid phone and plan. Customers have access to
the same great smart phones but do not pay more than $50.00 per month. Prepaid
phones are also an economical resource for families with teens and college-aged
children. We shouldn’t have to spend the greater part of a household budget on
cell phone service.
