Here are a few tips on how to prevent your phone blowing a hole in your budget.
1. Try It First
Try a pre-paid service (monthly or ?) with your provider before signing a longer plan.
2. Text Carefully
Avoid replying to competitions. Avoid sending messages in response to competitions ~ these often connect you to a 1900 number that bills your phone at a much higher rate than your usual plan.
3. Stop Expensive Texts
Text the word STOP to unwanted texts, which aim to charge you for opening the message.
4. Read the Fine Print
Make sure you are clear on the entire agreement so that you are aware of hidden costs or fees.
5. Avoid Long Contracts
Your situation may change.
6. Beware 'Free' RingTones
Watch for hidden costs ~ they may commit you to a subscription service which forces you to pay for a new ringtone every month.
