Comments on: Monthly Bill Checkup – Are You Using the Memberships You Pay For? http://notmadeofmoney.com/blog/2009/05/monthly-bill-checkup-%e2%80%93-are-you-using-the-memberships-you-pay-for.html Save Money - A Personal Finance Blog By A Husband And Wife Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:58:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dylan http://notmadeofmoney.com/blog/2009/05/monthly-bill-checkup-%e2%80%93-are-you-using-the-memberships-you-pay-for.html/comment-page-1#comment-230834 Dylan Thu, 14 May 2009 19:23:38 +0000 http://notmadeofmoney.com/blog/?p=1748#comment-230834 Nice article, and great tips for saving. The main thing I would mention to anyone considering switching to pre-paid cell phones, however, is that you should figure out first whether you can reduce your current cell bills down to acceptable levels--thereby saving often significant plan cancellation fees (AKA "early termination fees"), not to mention the convenience of keeping your present cell phone number. In this vein, I thought that I'd elaborate on a method for effectively reducing cellular expenses. Not to blatantly plug, but I work for the consumer advocacy website fixmycellbill.com , powered by a company called Validas, where we slash the average cell bill by 22 percent. It costs five bucks to implement our suggested changes to your plan (the average consumer currently saves around $450 annually through us) but we will analyze your bill for free without any commitment of purchase, just to let you know exactly how many dollars your carrier is ripping you off by. I could go on and on about how shifty these cell companies can be in their attempts to make you overpay. We stop them, and have currently put over $5,000,000 back in the pockets of consumers. You can check out Validas’s fixmycellbill.com in the national news media, most recently on Good Morning America at abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=6887412&page=1. Good luck to everyone reading on making an informed wireless choice. Dylan Nice article, and great tips for saving.
