Do you use your Cell only?

[Crystal]

I was looking at my cell phone bills. OMG, it's so expensive, I spent over $1,000 for my plan last year. I thought about getting a separate line at home as well, but after adding up my expenses I figured I can't even afford it.

The next person who tries to negotiate a price, I just might scream at them!

ok I feel better.

Cell phone only

I only have a cell phone, I got rid of my land line about 5 years ago when I switched from dialup to cable internet....I don't miss having a land line at all...Cell phone works great for personal and business use...

wow $1000 cell bill!! you need a new plan. i use my cell for business and as my personal cell. i think i have $1000 min free weekends no roaming no long distance and it's $70 a month for 2 phones. tell those negotiators to call you back friday night after 7!

I have only a cell.......

for my personal phone. When I move from shop to mobile, I'll be getting a second cell for business. I'll keep my current business number as a "phantom" line, and forward it to the cell. I use Cricket, and the prices just can't be beat! If you have their service in your area, I would definitely check it out.

I am using a biz line out of the home, home line and a cell, plus my daughters and husbands cell. I am tempted to drop home line but hate the fact that maybe someone will not be able to find me!

I pay about $100 a month for my cell phone...2100 minutes, no roaming, free weekend and night calling...

At home, I have not had a land line in about 5 years. There's just no need for 2, and the telemarketing calls are non-existent now. Me & hubby's plan runs us $88/mo.

At the shop we have a land line. That costs us about $85/mo but also includes DSL. I've looked at Vonage for the business, but business lines cost more through them too, grrr!

i use cell for business only...its about 60 mo...and have regular phone at home.....Negotiator's? hmmmm like every other caller tells me what there old groomer charged.......I wonder what would happen if you tried to negotiate a bill from your landscaper or pizza delivery guy?...

I have a land line, but it's part of my cable deal so it's cheap. Wow, 1000 a year is a lot! You might wanna shop around.
Thankfully I have family plan so I pay about 30/month.

Just Cell.

I only use a cell phone for business. After the first two years of the the first contract on it I reduced the plan be half the minutes. My message states that I probably have a dog on my table or I am driving down the road so I will be happy to talk to you about your dog's grooming needs in the evening or by the weekend. Free minutes after 7PM and on the weekends.
I prefer to return calls because I can then make sure that I have my Salesperson's Hat on if you know what I mean. I then have plenty of info from them from the questions that I ask them to answer from my message.
Also, you will do what works for you. I don't necessarily do everything the right way, just my way.

I have a cell on my parent's plan and I was planning on getting a seperate cell and plan for the business. I couldn't have both phones on the same plan, could I?

I bet that you could if it's a family plan. Some only let you add a certain amount of phones...I know mine lets you add four for a total of five!

[Crystal]

I guess I should have mentioned we have two numbers on one cell plan. But i think I need to start looking at my expenses a little more carefully and see what I can eliminate.

$1000 a year is not a lot. I pay about 100 a month for my cell line. Unlimited incoming calls and free minutes after 5pm. I have never gone over the limit. At 100 a month that's $1200 a year.
