Every month, I just pay the cellphone bill and be done with it. But sometimes, I just have to click on the tag and stare at the graphical representation of the cellphone bill for the past 6 months. I can't shake off the niggly feeling that I'm paying way too much for the usage.I grimace at December's bill. The money is definitely spent on acknowledging and rejecting invites rather than accepting them. I distinctly remember partying a fair bit in January. Yet that is the month with the lowest usage charges. Very strange.
I'm not exactly a slave to my phone. My texting volume is nowhere near fiendish. I don't bother talking for more than 10 minutes on the phone to anyone. I'm supposed to get 700 minutes of free calls dammit. I don't bother taking the phone out with me quite often. So I think I'm not exactly getting a correct ratio pegged to the bill.
"IDD calls and texts, my dear." The man wisely reminded me. Right. I always forget to use the telco's budget IDD access code of 019. I simply key in the '+' sign whether I'm at home or overseas.
So when I factor in the IDD calls, it all makes perfect sense. I asked the friends about their phone charges. Many reported phone bills that are triple of mine. Oh well. My monthly phone bill is kept rather low then.

Use Skype - or a phone card. That'll bring your bill way down.
That's not too bad, considering IDD calls and all...
dawn: i use skype. but often i forget! must increase usage. don't use a phone card at all. GOOD IDEA. maybe i should think about doing that.
lilsnooze: i guess!
I'd better not tell you how much *my* mobile phone bill is on top of Skype and internet chat and every other free chat possibilities...
kachunknorge: YOU. okay. i don't even want to imagine it.
