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.
