Once a year I go over all of my bills, line items when possible, and pinpoint things that I don't need or don't use or don't care about.
The bill started out as $100. I knocked off a $10 a month third-party insurance charge, taking it down to $90.
Then I noticed there was some charge on the bill that they called a smart line connection fee, it was $40 a month. I kept pestering them about what this was, they never really answered, it's basically a fee that they charge you just for having service. I was able to get it down to $15 though since my phone is now paid off and I lowered my package a little bit, which is coming next.
With those two adjustments above, I was down to $65 a month. I noticed that I barely touch my data plan, usually just Wi-Fi, so I dropped that down to 1 GB instead of 3 gigabytes which landed me at $50.
I'm sure there will be $5 extra in taxes and random "fees" but much better than $100 and I haven't lost any real functionality.
