    Default READ the inserts in your bills!

    I pay a flat fee for local and unlimited long distance calling for my home telephone. Total charge is 39.99 per month. In this months bill, there was an insert advertising the same plan that I am on with a special trial price of 29.99 for the first 6 months. I called the phone company and asked them if existing customers could get that 10.00 per month discount and they said YES!! So I will save 60.00 total... It pays to read those darn inserts

    That is great, it shows how much money you can save by just making simple phone call. Thanks for the reminder.

    Good ideal. I've been thinking of calling the phone co. to see if I can get a better plan.
