Anyway I was talking with a friend today on Facebook about cell phone bills and how I have an iPhone with no monthly payment. I explained that I do not have an iPhone just an iPod touch and I bought a cheap but good cell phone with minimal minutes so I wouldn't have the big bill every month. Granted this situation only works for certain people like me who use both independently. I only talk on my cell 400 minutes per month most of which are to other Verizon customers therefore the majority of minutes are free. My monthly bill after calling to see what current savings options they had is 450 mins, free Verizon to Verizon calls, and unlimited text messaging all for $30 per month. Then I bought my iPod (rather Casey did) which is a one time payment and you have the same benefit of an iPhone just no call feature. In fact I am typing this blog on my iPod 90% of the time!
Total iPhone cost: $100/month approx x 24 month contract = $2,400.00 over 2 years
Total iPod touch and basic cell phone cost: $30/month approx x 24 month contract = $720 + $400 (64GB) ipod touch one time payment no contract = $1,120.00 plus after that first year you are down to just a $360 annual payment for just the cell phone.
Total two-year approximate total savings =
$1,280.00 that's a good amount for a nice family vacation :-)
Annual approximate saving after the first year assuming no contract on cell phone = $1,200.00 - $360.00 = $840.00 per year which is a nice mini vacation or money in the bank :-)
LOVE IT!!!!
Next thing I just heard about from another friend is to call your Internet, cable, and local phone service and just by asking if they had any new deals running I got $30 discount per month which is a good lunch or cheap dinner date out or again money in the bank :-) totaling $360 for the year!!!!
More to come later!!!! Enjoy that $$$$$ or don't and SAVE!!!!!
