This summer I’m hoping to be able to pay off my cell phone bill so that maybe I can get a new one and actually be able to talk to people without my little brother telling me he needs the phone. Yes I sound like a teen, but thats how it is.

One thing I always have looked for is free cell phones. When I sign a contract with a company I better be getting a good phone for free. Thats one reason I sign up for plans online, you get some of the best deals out there and it’s not hard to set up a cell. As long as you have a home phone your good. Now if you don’t and you have someone else call for you make sure they have the cell phone because it’s crazy trying to explain to the poor customer service person that you don’t have the phone and there is no way for you to get it unless you drive an hour. Anyway, the last phone I got with my plan was a $300 phone, I got it for free, just shop around and you will find something good.

I got an online phone card a few years ago and I hadn’t had to use it yet. I got it for a friend of mine when our cell phones were turned off because I lost my job and couldn’t pay the bill anymore. He is diabetic and didn’t have another phone and couldn’t get one because of a roommate who ran up the home phone bill. I did want him to go without a phone so I get him the cell. Then I felt bad because I got his cell turned off because I couldn’t pay my part of the bill anymore. He never used it as another friend got him a cell phone under their plan. Apparently he has some good friends!

Anyway yesterday I finally had a chance to use it. I was surprised that I still could other phone cards I have had expired quickly and you had to use them within at least a year. The one I got online doesn’t expire until 2010. Not bad I think, the best part is I paid about $20 for 1000 minutes. It was a deal I couldn’t pass up. I just love how things work out like that. I’m just happy I have it in case of an emergency since I don’t have a cell phone right now and can’t really offered the extra payment a month for even a pre-paid. I’m hoping to be able to soon, but until then using a calling card will work when I’m on the road. As long as my car doesn’t break down were okay.

The other thing I like about this card is it has a cheep rate for overseas calling. I think I’ll let my mom use it to call our exchange student and get his address so she can finally send his Christmas gift to him. She sent it before Christmas and it got sent back because of the wrong address.
