How To Save Money On Phone Calls

1. Use Skype for phone calls, especially international calls. There’s no need to ever buy phone cards or an international calling plan again.
2. Join someone else’s cell phone plan as an “add-on” phone. It’s always cheaper to join someone else’s cell phone plan as an “add-on” phone than it is to get your own cell phone plan.
3. Consider getting a prepaid phone (a phone without a contract). Most people with cell phones sign up for long term, expensive contracts.  If you don’t use your cell phone often, though, could a prepaid phone be for you?
4. Get rid of your landline telephone. One of the simplest ways to save money is to use a cell phone exclusively (and Skype and/or Google Talk while at home, as mentioned in this list).
5. Use GetHuman.com. Spend less time on the phone (and thus use less of your cell phone plan’s monthly minutes) by using GetHuman.com, a website that details which numbers to press in order to bypass the automated portions of customer service lines.
