For some reason it turns out that I've been paying way over the odds for my phone plan (something about having 40,000 rollover minutes I wasn't using) and the nice lady very helpfully adjusted it and put me on a cheaper unlimited text plan (because apparently "her department" has the authority to do this) saving me a cool $30/month in money cash. 
 
That works out to another $360 per year that I can spend on VST's and VSTi's. 
 
WOO-HOO!

Spend it wisely!

Did the same recently and saved us $50 per month. Amazed, really.

Actually, I was in the store looking at new phones and ended up doing the same thing, saving over $50 a month and got a new Win8 phone!

I know, but I do like the Win8 phone.

I always find it is better to buy the phone outright and then do a sim only contract. They know this so they are offering better prices.

I've always suspected that I was paying too much but whenever I thought about examining my plan I'd take one look at the website, think "I don't like this at all" and log off. Maybe I'll take a look at my Time Warner Cable Internet bill next. Because that is WAY too much.

My cable bill was over the top too! I dropped some stuff and got it within reason. Still too much. I have all three together: Cable, Internet, Telephone all from Cox.

I always used to have cable wherever I lived, then I had to have DirecTV where I'm living now and the difference is staggering!  My Mom has a land line and doesn't even have the sport channels for TV yet she pays almost the same as the owner of this place does.  Except we have almost 800 channels available, high-definition to five rooms and the ability to record at least 300 hours (five channels at a time) with the added extra of streaming through the WiFi to any connected device!  What made me laugh is that we have far fewer problems with the picture (losing it, pixelation, etc.) with the dish than I ever did with cable.  Of course, a bit of a bummer for me is that my phone plan costs more per month than the entire DirecTV bill... 
 
Maybe I need to look around at other phone plans.  I've had VeriZon Wireless ever since I started consulting to them back in '95 (originally through Anderson Consulting, who is now Accenture, then direct).  I was there for over 7 years and still remember the expression on a VP's face when he saw I was using Cingular.  I told him I simply was waiting for my contract to end before switching and he said he'd get me a one-time discount so from then on I've stayed with them.

Cingular! Memories.....

I just called AT&T and saved $30/month on my bill
 
Don't tell GEICO. They'll be... "well, you know".
