Tips on how to lower Phone Bill

Telephone technology has undergone a lot of improvements in recent years. Competition among telephone service providers and the advent of new services have lowered costs in some cases, and raised them in others, and complicated the decision process in choosing a reasonably-priced and reliable service provider. Following are the tips to lower phone service costs or bills without sacrificing safety:

1. Switch to VOIP  or Voice over Internet Protocol. VOIP transmits phone calls via a high-speed Internet connection. It can save consumers about $400 a year, since monthly plans start at about $20 a month, include unlimited local and long-distance calling and are not as heavily taxed as conventional phone services. Disadvantages include two requirements — a broadband Internet connection from a cable or DSL provider, which can cost $40 or more altogether, and AC power. If the power or internet connection goes out
so does the phone service.

2. Using a mobile phone for every calls you make, from local call, call to mobile, and call to overseas. Some consumers are dropping their landline phone service all together and relying solely on their mobile phone to cut costs. As we can see, nowadays, almost all mobile phone service provider offer the cap plan. From $19 cap which can give you around $50 maximum credit off calls , up to $149 cap which up to $1000 credit.

3. Get the long distance bundle. Buying unlimited long-distance and local service from the same landline provider can cost about $35 to $55 a month. Long distance service alone can cost that much, so essentially the local service is free.

4. Buy international prepaid phone card for long distance call. Prepaid  calling cards are very  handy for avoiding excessive long distance  bills.  Because its prepaid, so you can monitor the usage anytime.  A lot of cheap calling cards are also available online which make it very convenience to get it. You can also find some free phonecard rate comparison from these website: online calling cards , cheap phone card and telephone calling cards
