Life is Funny

Our cell phone carrier “grandfathered us in” with a cellular package about 3 years ago. We were getting a great deal back then, and were quite happy with it.

Today, we noticed that almost $500 came out of our account for our monthly cellular usage for 2 phones. After visiting the cellular provider’s website, we learned that our base cost of our grandfathered-in packages is almost double what they should be…

In the last 3 years, the cellular market has become a lot more competitive, and cheaper to provide since the network infrastructure has already been built.

This means we’ve been overpaying over the last year or two, significantly more than we could be, if we would have just reviewed our cellular bills and compare them to the latest cell phone plans out there.

But who has time to do that?

Well I learned my lesson this time. I’ve probably overspent about $1,000 as a result of my mistake.

Now I’m sharing this with you too. If you haven’t reviewed your cell phone bills and what the newest calling plans are with your provider, maybe you should. Otherwise you may find yourself in the same situation as us..
