As the economy hits home, plenty of us are scaling back on eating out, buying cars and even cutting back on groceries. But there’s an easier way to save, and all you have to do is check your cellphone bill.
If you use less than 200 minutes a month, you can find big savings by switching to a prepaid service such as Virgin Mobile, Tracfone or AT&T’s GoPhone, just to name a few. On average, prepaid phones cost 10 to 20 cents per minute and you pay only for the minutes used. Plus, prepaid phones retail for about the same price as traditional cellphones and have just as many features.
The biggest savings come because you avoid many of the fees and taxes that bump up your bill by 30 or 40 percent on traditional contract-based plans, says Sam Simon, founder and chairman of the Telecommunications Research and Action Center.

Another easy way to save on phone bills, is by cutting down on 411 costs. I saved $30 just last month by using 1-800-FREE411 instead of calling paid 411. I dial 1-800-373-3411 and I can get any business, government, or residential listing. I can even get weather and daily horoscopes! It is a really great way to save
