I already know that I'm paying way too much for my bill. $130. Yes $130. I don't get it, I simply don't. I had the iPhone with the same features ad my new blackberry and only paid $100 bucks. Which was perfectly fine. I don't understand why they charge me so high. I found this article that will help you actually optimize your cellphone bill. I'm officially disappointed with AT&T, they over charge everything! Here's what I found: You: “Hi, I was looking at my plan and it’s getting pretty expensive. Could you tell me what other plans you have that would save me money?”
Them: Blah blah same plans as on the website blah blah
You: “What about any plans not listed on the website?”
Them: No, what we have is listed on the website. Plus, you’re on a contract and have an early cancellation fee of $XXX
You: “Well, I understand that, but I’d be saving $XXX even with that cancellation fee. Look, you know times are tough so I’m thinking of switching to [COMPETITOR COMPANY]. Unless there are any other plans you have…? No? Ok, can you switch me to your cancellation department, please?”
Psych them out! haha I hope that will work. Becuase these are really tough times.

Bayho, nice blog and I'm sorry to read about your problems with AT&T. Given that you're spending $130 per month, I think it's very probable that you are unnecessarily paying too much--especially as I've seen data that suggests 80% of us overpay for cell phones. I would add, however, that there are a few effective ways to fight back. Pardon the name dropping, but I work for the consumer advocacy website, http://www.fixmycellbill.com , that slashes the average cell bill by 28 percent. As the consumer protection division of the company Validas, fixmycellbill.com has currently audited nearly 30,000 cell lines and has saved consumers over $5 million (and counting) off their wireless bills. You can see Validas in the national news media, most recently on Good Morning America at http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/MakeMoney/story?id=7640149&page=1.
Good luck to you and everyone reading on achieving the lowest possible wireless rates.
Dylan
