One of many aggravations that have bugged me over the years is paying for "x" minutes a month of cellphone time that I rarely if ever use. I rarely text message. I don't use my phone as a browser. I only make and receive calls and I don't do a lot of that.
Last month I used 261 minutes and that was a heavy month for me. So far this month I've used 67 minutes with 9 days left in my billing month. Those numbers tell me that it's costing me something like twenty-five cents a minute counting all fees and taxes.
I've done some research and made a decision to rid myself of this aggravation. I'm going for a makeover. I'm switching to a prepaid plan. My carrier is T-Mobile. I can prepay one-hundred dollars and that gets me 1000 minutes that lasts one year. I can prepay just another ten bucks worth and extend the leftover minutes beyond the year. That comes out to roughly ten cents a minute not counting fees and taxes. At my rate of usage 1000 minutes should last me at least 6 months. And of course, there's no contract. It's a no-brainer.
I assure you that my decision had nothing to do with this commercial. Seriously, it didn't. OK, maybe a little bit. Ah, just forget I brought it up.

I think this is brilliant. Now I have to look at my spending.
