2. Start A Family Plan
For example, a family plan of four costs about $120, while a single line can as high as $75 with the leading wireless companies.
Make sure you compare prices between the different carriers, so that you can find the cheapest cell phone plan.
3. Qualify For A Discount
If you’re in the military, a veteran or senior citizen you may be able to save as much as $10 month on your days plan.
Make sure you review the many organizations you may be a part of. Chances are, you qualify for a rebate or reduced plan because of your affiliations.
4. Buy A Refurbished Phone
- Samsung Galaxy S9, 64GB, Coral Blue – Fully Unlocked — $272
- Google Pixel 4a – New Unlocked Android Smartphone – 128 GB — $349
- iPhone 8, 64GB, Gold – Fully Unlocked — $228
- Apple iPhone X, 64GB, Space Gray – Fully Unlocked — $389
- Apple iPhone XS, 256GB, Gold – Fully Unlocked — $463
5. Opt For Autopay
All of the phone providers give you an average of $5 off if you choose to enable autopay for your monthly bill.
The savings come to $64 a year if you can make it the full 12 months. That’s not bad.
6. Don’t Get Phone Insurance
If you want to keep your monthly phone bill down, don’t opt for phone insurance.
If you’ve ever filed a claim on a broken phone (I have), even with insurance there are instances where you still have to pay.
