Landlines and Cellphones

What a racket this is! Budgeting cutting efforts again here. Rich and I realized that between the two we were paying WAY too much per year on phones.

So, we called Bellsouth, cut off the caller ID, call waiting, and something else I can't remember. But it cut the bill down by $35 a month....This is just exciting news in this house.

Then, we got to Sprint, to see about that bill....Come to find out we can't reduce our bill. In fact, when our service runs out we will be forced into a 'bundle package' that will increase our bill. "Bundling" is suppose to SAVE money!!!!! Our only option is to get rid of Rich's Trio and get him a regular phone. Problem being my super busy, sole-income making husband deserves his geeky gadget and uses it very well.

The kicker is we'd look for a new phone company when our contract ran out, but my entire family is on Sprint - we get to talk for free. I talk to my mom almost every day, can't imagine the bill if we had to count minutes!

Decisions will be made next year I suppose......

Next time - work ramblings...
